DFI's Groundbreaking Leap into the AI IPC Market: The Unveiling of MTH968 Embedded System Module





DFI, the world's leading brand in embedded motherboards and industrial computers, is taking a major strategic turn. The company is setting its sights firmly on the AI application market, unveiling its cutting-edge embedded system module (SOM), the MTH968. This exciting new product is equipped with the latest Intel® Core™ Ultra processor. Remarkably, it is the first product of its kind to be integrated with an NPU (Neural Processor Unit) processor. This marks the official integration of AI with industrial PCs (IPCs), a significant milestone in the industry.


The unveiling of the MTH968 isn't just a matter of product development; it signals DFI's ambitious move into the AI IPC market. By expanding into this area, DFI expects to inject new momentum into the AI edge computing market. According to a report from STL Partners, the potential market value of global edge computing is expected to surge from US$9 billion in 2020 to an astounding US$462 billion in 2030. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 49%. 


DFI's MTH968 is a masterpiece of technology. It adopts the COM Express (COM.0 R3.1) Type 6 module standard and is equipped with an Intel Meteor Lake processor. This marks the debut of an integrated CPU, GPU, and NPU on a single chip. The MTH968 is built with two "low-power, high-efficiency cores (LP E-core)", which reduces power consumption by 30% to 50%, optimizes the CPU by 10%, and improves GPU performance by up to 114% compared to previous generation Intel processors. 


The power of the MTH968 lies in the built-in NPU of Meteor Lake. This dramatically enhances the performance of the MTH968 in critical AI tasks. With a new AI computing architecture, the device can process advanced AI edge computing, complex graphics computing, and other applications more efficiently, while saving data on cloud costs.

The MTH968 stands out for its highly customizable integration capabilities and fanless wide temperature design. Operating from -40°C to 85°C, the MTH968 optimizes high-efficiency computing performance, reduces latency, and enhances storage speed with its DDR5 and NVMe SSD.


The MTH968 is not just a powerful device; it’s a versatile solution for a wide range of AIoT fields. From industrial automation to smart transportation and smart agriculture, the MTH968 can be widely used. The device's compact size of 95mm * 95mm only adds to its usability and convenience.


As technology advances in areas such as 5G, edge computing, and remote control tech, IPCs are being tasked with handling complex tasks through AI edge computing. Here, the MTH968 excels, offering high-performance computing with account energy efficiency.


DFI's MTH968 is much more than a product – it's a revolution in industrial AI application upgrades. With its enhanced computing and customizable flexibility, the MTH968 is set to accelerate the development of AI applications in various industries.


The MTH968 comes loaded with impressive features. It is equipped with the Intel® Core™ Ultra processor (Meteor Lake), supports dual-channel DDR5 and NVMe SSD, boasts a fanless and wide temperature design (-40°C to 85°C), and maintains a compact size (95mm * 95mm). The MTH968 adheres to the Com Express Type 6 standard.


DFI's launch of the MTH968 is a visionary approach to the future of AI IPCs. By integrating AI capabilities into industrial PCs, DFI is not only leading the pack but also setting new standards for the entire industry.
