AAEON's UP brand released the UP 710S, the next generation credit card sized single-board with adjusted height measuring at just 25.13mm. The solution’s size, when compared to previous models, does not reduce I/O options. The UP 710S upholds key features like GPIO, I2C, SPI, and COM that were possible via a 40-pin HAT through dedicated wafers.

San Jose, California. Point2 Technology introduced the Point2 P1B12,1 its innovative Smart Retimer system-on-chip (SoC) for AEC applications in hyperscale AI/ML datacenters. It incorporates eight-unidirectional SerDes channels with smart Clock Data Recovery (CDR)/Retimer operations that support 112G PAM4 and 56G NRZ data rates. The Point2 P1B121 is designed for low-power and low-latency operations in 800 gigabit (800G) and 1.6 Terabit (1.6T) Active Electrical Cables (AECs). At 3 nanoseconds (3ns), the P1B121 chip latency is 20X lower than standard DSP-based PAM4 Retimers.
