The ASUS PE3000N is a rugged, high-performance edge-AI computer designed for demanding automation, robotics and intelligent infrastructure tasks. Built by ASUS’s IoT division, this system is built around the latest NVIDIA Jetson Thor module and brings massive computing power into a compact, industrial-grade chassis.
Under the hood, the PE3000N features a 14-core Arm CPU, NVIDIA’s Blackwell GPU architecture, and up to 128 GB of LPDDR5X memory to deliver up to 2,070 FP4 TFLOPS of AI inference performance. These specs make it well-suited to tasks such as real-time video analytics, sensor fusion and running generative or large-language-model-based workloads right at the edge.
What also stands out is the system’s ruggedness and flexibility. The PE3000N meets MIL-STD-810H standards, supports a wide power input (12-60V DC) with ignition support, and can operate in temperatures from –20 °C to 60 °C. For connectivity and I/O, it offers modular stacks supporting PoE, GMSL cameras, CAN, QSFP28 and up to four 25 GbE links, plus optional LTE/5G/GNSS modules for mobile or distributed applications.
Because the PE3000N enables heavy compute and sensor workloads to run on-site rather than in the cloud, it reduces latency and network dependency, a big plus in industrial, robotic or outdoor deployments where connectivity may be unreliable. Security is also taken care of with TPM 2.0 onboard and precision timing support (PTP/PPS) for tightly synchronised sensor networks.
The PE3000N is built around the NVIDIA Jetson Thor/T5000 module and supports the NVIDIA JetPack SDK (Ubuntu on the module) for development of edge-AI applications. It is compatible with NVIDIA’s physical-AI software stacks such as Isaac (for robotics), Holoscan (for real-time sensor processing) and Metropolis (for video analytics workflows), providing a streamlined path from cloud to edge deployment. Besides, ASUS also provides its own IoT software ecosystem (firmware-over-the-air updates, support of industrial Linux/Android, cloud monitor tools) to control and monitor the edge systems in industries.
The ASUS PE3000N edge-AI computer is projected to show itself in Q1, 2026, and engineering samples will be available in Q4, 2025, through ASUS regional representatives. ASUS has not yet unveiled any official prices, and there are no distributor listings as such right now, being in its pre-launch phase. The curious buyers or companies with intentions of early assessments are expected to directly demand sample availability, quotations and lead-time at the ASUS IoT sales channels.
