AAEON BOXER-8742AI is a powerful fanless edge AI embedded box PC featuring modular design and hardware to address the needs of the current industrial and intelligent infrastructure implementation requirements. It is a small but powerful solution, developed on the NVIDIA Jetson T4000, that will provide incredible AI compute corresponding to real-time inference tasks, machine vision, robotics, and automated decision-making applications at the edge.
Compared to the BOXER-8741AI, it has a 12-core Arm Neoverse-V3AE 64-bit CPU paired with a 1536-core NVIDIA Blackwell GPU with 64 sophisticated Tensor Cores. The combination is able to provide a high AI capability ranging up to 1200 TFLOPS of processing power to support the high learning models required to operate in tasks like smart factory automation, autonomous mobile robots (AMR), industrial inspection, and intelligent transportation systems.
The system also has 64 GB of LPDDR5X and is NVMe SSD storage supported by an M.2 2280 slot, providing the memory bandwidth and storage performance required by heavy workloads and high-resolution data streams. Regarding the networking, the BOXER-8742AI will have a single 5 GbE LAN and four 1 GbE LAN with PoE (maximum 60 W) ports, making it a great choice to directly power IP cameras and sensors on the platform, thus simplifying the smart retail, surveillance, and logistics installations.
I/O functionality is with USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, RS-232/422/485, CAN FD, 8-bit DIO/GPIO and HDMI 2.0, integrates with a myriad of peripherals and industrial devices. Flexible 4G/5G and Wi-Fi network connections are offered with Dual SIM slots and multiple SMA antenna connectors, thus guaranteeing stable network connectivity in the distributed networks.
Although it contains numerous functions, the BOXER-8742AI is an assembly without a fan, and it is tough enough to be located in rough factories, and it can be installed and installed in a very small area. It is also compatible with NVIDIA JetPack 7.0 and beyond, which simplifies the creation and execution of AI programs that use CUDA, TensorRT, as well as container configurations.
At the time of writing, the AAEON BOXER-8742AI embedded box PC is not officially priced because most of the high-end edge AI systems sold by AAEON are quote-only products. According to recent announcements, the product will enter the business world in mid-2026. AAEON is yet to announce pricing, but it could be in the $3,000 category, as industry speculates, one can expect different pricing based on configuration and area. Customers should contact AAEON directly or an authorised distributor in order to obtain accurate pricing and lead time.
