Advantech MIO-5355 3.5-inch SBC features Qualcomm QCS6490 or QCS5430 SoC for industrial edge AI

MIO 5355 Qualcomm Dragonwing QCS6490 SBC

Advantech MIO-5355 is a 3.5-inch SBC based on Qualcomm QCS6490 or QCS5430 Edge AI processor. The board features up to 8GB of LPDDR5 memory, 128GB of UFS storage, and supports various operating systems, including Windows 11 IoT Enterprise, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, and Yocto Linux. We have seen other QCS6490-based hardware in the past, such as the Radxa Dragon Q6A, the Quectel QSM560DR SBC, or the Rubik Pi 3, most of which come in compact form factors. The Advantech MIO-5355 takes a different approach, using a standard industrial 3.5-inch form factor (146 × 102 mm) and targeting industrial deployments with support for –20°C to 70°C operation and long-term availability. Advantech MIO-5355 specifications: SoC (one or the other) Qualcomm DragonWing QCS6490 CPU – Octa-core Kryo 670 with 1x Gold Plus core (Cortex-A78) @ 2.7 GHz, 3x Gold cores (Cortex-A78) @ 2.4 GHz, 4x Silver cores (Cortex-A55) @ up to 1.9 GHz GPU […]

Snapdragon X2 Plus 6-core and 10-core processors target low-power Windows Copilot+ PCs

After announcing the high-end Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme and X2 Elite processors last year, Qualcomm has now introduced the mid-range Snapdragon X2 Plus platform at CES 2026. While the Elite SKUs target premium laptops, the X2 Plus series is designed for affordable, mainstream Windows 11 Copilot+ PCs. The new lineup includes the X2P-64-100 (10-core) and the X2P-42-100 (6-core), both manufactured on a 3nm process. What’s interesting is that they share the same 80 TOPS AI accelerator, 9523 MT/s LPDDR5x memory support, Snapdragon X75 5G modem, and FastConnect 7800 WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 as the flagship Elite models. This means that the X2 Plus reduces CPU core counts and GPU frequencies to maximize battery life for thin-and-light Windows 11 Copilot+ laptops, but it does not compromise on I/O, media capabilities, or AI performance, as it features the same USB4, PCIe Gen5, and AV1 video support as the top-tier models. Snapdragon […]
