AAEON, a leading provider of edge AI solutions, has officially announced its upcoming BOXER-8741AI, the company’s first embedded AI supercomputer built on the brand-new NVIDIA Jetson Thor platform. This powerful system-on-module is poised to redefine real-time AI performance, scalability, and efficiency for next-generation applications.

Powered by NVIDIA Jetson Thor with Blackwell Architecture

At the heart of the BOXER-8741AI lies the NVIDIA Jetson Thor, featuring NVIDIA’s groundbreaking Blackwell architecture. Compared to the current Jetson AGX Orin, Jetson Thor delivers:

• 7.5x higher AI compute performance

• 3.5x greater energy efficiency

• Up to 2070 FP4 TFLOPS of AI compute

This massive leap in performance positions the BOXER-8741AI as a prime solution for advanced use cases such as humanoid robotics, smart healthcare systems, and autonomous machines.

Built for High-Performance Data Processing

The BOXER-8741AI is designed to handle multi-sensor and vision-intensive workloads, with robust networking and connectivity options:

• 4x QSFP28 ports with 25GbE speeds

• 4x RJ-45 ports (3x 1GbE + 1x 5GbE)

• Multiple serial interfaces: 4x DB-9 (2x CANBus, 2x RS-485)

• 8-bit GPIO, I2C, and UART headers

These interfaces make it ideal for environments requiring synchronized real-time vision sensors, LiDAR integration, and precision control.

Software Ecosystem for AI Acceleration

The BOXER-8741AI will support NVIDIA JetPack 7, ensuring access to NVIDIA’s latest software stack for AI development. Key platforms include:

• NVIDIA Isaac – robotics development

• NVIDIA Metropolis – video analytics and smart vision

• NVIDIA Holoscan – sensor processing for physical AI

This combination ensures developers can build, optimize, and deploy powerful AI applications faster than ever before.

Availability Timeline

AAEON confirmed that the BOXER-8741AI will be available for sample testing in September 2025, with mass production scheduled for November 2025.

“The world has witnessed incredible advancements in AI, but we believe the Jetson Thor module, paired with our hardware, will enable breakthroughs that were previously impossible,” said Alex Hsueh, Associate Vice President of AAEON’s Smart Platform Division.

Final Thoughts

The AAEON BOXER-8741AI represents a major step forward in embedded AI computing, offering developers and enterprises a highly scalable and energy-efficient solution for next-generation robotics, healthcare, and automation.

With Jetson Thor at its core, this supercomputer-on-module may well become a cornerstone for AI-driven industries in 2026 and beyond.
