Advantech Powers High-Density Edge Infrastructure with the Intel Atom P6900 Processor-Based SOM-5994 Module - 巴士的報
Advantech has introduced the SOM-5994, a COM Express Basic Type 7 module powered by Intel Atom P6900 processors, designed for compute-intensive edge networking and 5G infrastructure applications.
TAIPEI, Nov. 11, 2026 -- Advantech, a global leader in embedded computing and edge AI solutions, has announced the launch of the SOM-5994, a COM Express Basic Type 7 module powered by Intel Atom P6900 processors. Designed for compute-intensive edge networking, 5G infrastructure, and next-generation telecommunication applications, the SOM-5994 delivers high-core-density processing, advanced networking connectivity, and flexible expansion capabilities in a standardized form factor.
The module supports up to 24 server class efficient-cores, PCIe Gen4 expansion, DDR5 SODIMM memory, and integrated Intel Ethernet technology supporting 10GBASE-KR connectivity. An extended operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C is available as an option for industrial deployments.
High-Performance Networking
Powered by Intel Atom P6900 processors specifically designed for networking and telecommunications applications, the SOM-5994 combines high core density, advanced I/O connectivity, and flexible scalability within a compact COM Express Basic Type 7 module. When compared to the Intel Xeon D-1700 processor family, the SOM-5994 delivers higher overall performance.
The module supports up to 128GB of DDR5-5600 memory and provides up to 16 PCIe Gen4 lanes and 16 PCIe Gen3/Gen2 lanes, delivering the bandwidth required for virtualization, packet inspection, software-defined networking (SDN), network security, and other data-intensive networking workloads.
Comprehensive Support
Beyond hardware performance, the SOM-5994 is backed by Advantech's comprehensive Embedded Solutions and Design-In Services, helping customers accelerate product development and reduce engineering risks. These services include carrier board design support, BIOS customization, thermal solution consultation, Linux development resources, system validation, and long-term lifecycle management.
The module also supports Advantech SUSI APIs, Yocto project integration, and customizable BIOS features, providing developers with a flexible software framework for hardware monitoring, system management, and Linux deployment. When paired with the optional SOM-RM10 BMC carrier card, the platform enables robust out-of-band management.
Accelerating Edge Deployment
As edge computing, AI services, and industrial networking demand higher throughput, lower latency, and greater power efficiency, OEMs face mounting pressure to innovate under tight schedules and budgets. The SOM-5994 offers a modular, ready-to-integrate solution that allows customers to drastically cut NRE costs, streamline validation, and lower design risks.
The Advantech SOM-5994 will be available in Q2, 2027. For more information regarding SOM-5994 or other Advantech products and services, customers can contact Advantech's sales support team or visit their website.
