AAEON has recently introduced the PICO-MTU4-SEMI, a compact embedded mini PC based on the Intel Core Ultra 5 processor, designed for industrial and embedded applications. It supports up to 32GB LPDDR5 memory, offers dual Ethernet ports (2.5GbE and 1GbE), HDMI output, USB 3.2 Gen 2, and M.2 expansion slots for storage and connectivity. Engineers built it for reliable performance in space-limited, high-demand environments with support for a wide operating temperature range.
AAEON’s PICO-MTU4-SEMI Mini PC Specifications
The AAEON PICO-MTU4-SEMI features an Intel Core Ultra 5 Processor 125U with 2 performance cores, 10 efficient cores, and a 15W TDP. It comes with up to 32GB of onboard LPDDR5-6400 memory. The board offers dual Ethernet ports with a 2.5GbE Intel I226 controller and a 1GbE Intel I219 controller, plus two USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports. A single HDMI 1.4 port provides the display output, supporting up to 3840×2160 @ 30Hz.
Expansion options include an M.2 2280 M-Key slot (PCIe 4.0 x4/SATA) and an M.2 2230 E-Key slot (PCIe 4.0 x1 + USB 2.0), with optional RS-232/422/485 serial ports and 4-bit GPIO. The system supports TPM 2.0, has a watchdog timer, and operates in temperatures from -10°C to 50°C. The engineers made the compact board to measure 108 x 95 x 43 mm, use a 12V ATX power input, and serve embedded and industrial applications.
It supports both Windows 10/11 (64-bit) and Linux, specifically Ubuntu 22.04.2 with kernel version 5.19.0-32 generic. This mini PC’s compatibility with both major OS families ensures flexibility for developers and integrators when building custom solutions.
At the time of writing, the company has not officially released pricing for this product yet. However, CNX-Software estimates a rough figure of around US $900, based on the board version (PICO-MTU4 SBC) that sells for around US $804 with the Core Ultra 5 125U CPU. Additional information is available on the product page, along with a datasheet and manual.
