MetaComputing AI PC and T2/Linux

MC AI PC board

The MetaComputing "AI" PC mainboard features a 64-bit Armv9.2 with SVE2 (Scaleable Vector Extension) CIX P1 CD8180 SoC with a 12-core ARM DynamIQ configuration (4x Cortex-A720 Big, 4x Medium, 4x Cortex-A520 Little) and an Immortalis-G720 MC10 GPU. It delivers approximately 45 TOPS of total AI compute through its integrated NPU and CPU/GPU clusters. The board is equipped with either 16GB or 32GB of soldered LPDDR5 memory, a 1TB NVMe SSD, and an Intel AX210 Wi-Fi 6E/BT 5.3 module. Built on a 6nm process, it consumes between 7.9W and 27.5W of power and is designed to fit the Framework Laptop 13 chassis.
