Advanced AMD Ryzen™ Embedded 8000 Performance with Integrated AI and Graphics Acceleration At the heart of PCOM-B65C is the AMD Ryzen™ Embedded 8000 Series SoC, featuring up to 8 Zen 4 CPU cores,  integrated RDNA™ 3 graphics, and an AMD XDNA™ Neural Processing Unit (NPU) delivering up to 16 TOPS AI  performance. The module supports up to 96GB DDR5-5600 ECC/non-ECC memory, PCIe Gen4 expansion, dual SATA  interfaces, optional onboard PCIe NVMe storage, and up to four independent displays through DDI, eDP/LVDS, and  VGA support. These capabilities enable developers to build high-performance systems for graphics-intensive and AI driven workloads while optimizing power efficiency across configurable 15W to 54W TDP profiles. 

“Industrial systems today require more than just processing performance—they must also handle AI workloads  efficiently while remaining easy to manage remotely,” said Austin Tsai, Portwell Product Manager. “PCOM-B65C  leverages AMD XDNA™ AI acceleration to deliver a balanced combination of CPU performance, RDNA™ 3 graphics,  and efficient AI processing for edge computing applications. In addition, the module integrates Out-of-Band  Management, enabling remote power control, system reboot, and BIOS updates while helping customers reduce  maintenance costs and improve operational efficiency.” 

Optimized for Factory Automation, Medical Imaging, and Digital Signage Applications

The combination of CPU, GPU, and NPU resources makes PCOM-B65C particularly well suited for demanding edge  applications. In factory automation, the module supports real-time machine control, AI-assisted inspection, and  predictive maintenance by processing data locally with low latency. For medical imaging and healthcare systems, its  advanced graphics capabilities and embedded longevity support diagnostic imaging, patient monitoring, and clinical  visualization applications. In digital signage and information display applications, support for up to four  simultaneous displays and high-resolution graphics enables immersive content delivery across retail, transportation,  and public information environments. 

“The market is rapidly moving toward AI-enabled edge systems that can process data closer to where it is  generated,” added Tsai. “By combining efficient AI acceleration, multi-display graphics capability, and industrial grade reliability in a compact COM Express module, the PCOM-B65C allows system designers to accelerate  development while addressing the evolving requirements of automation, healthcare, smart retail, and machine  vision applications.” 

Accelerating Innovation Across Industrial Markets

With its powerful AMD Ryzen™ Embedded 8000 architecture, integrated AI acceleration, advanced graphics  capabilities, extensive I/O connectivity, and the Out-of-Band remote management functionality, the PCOM-B65C  provides a versatile foundation for next-generation embedded systems. Whether deployed in intelligent  manufacturing, medical imaging, edge AI computing, machine vision, or digital signage environments, the module  enables OEMs and system integrators to shorten development cycles while delivering scalable and future-ready  solutions.  

Through the launch of the PCOM-B65C, Portwell continues its commitment to empowering customers with reliable,  high-performance embedded computing platforms designed to meet the growing demands of AI-driven industrial  markets.
