Description
The Sabertooth AI system is a compact, rugged embedded computer that supports AI and 3D rendering workloads in harsh environments. The Sabertooth AI system is powered by the hex-core Intel Xeon-E CPU and the NVIDIA RTX 2000 ADA GPU for high-performance AI inferencing.
The Sabertooth AI features TPM 2.0 security, 32 GB error-correcting memory, high-speed SSD Storage (NVMe), and lots of computing power in a compact 90 x 96 x 63 mm package. It supports NVIDIA CUDA programming and Lovelace Architecture.
Designed and tested for full industrial temperature operation (-40° to +85°C) and MIL-STD-202H specifications for shock and vibration, the Sabertooth AI system is ideal for embedded computing needs in defense, aerospace, medical, smart security, and energy applications.
VersaLogic’s 10+ year product life support ensures long-term availability. Long lifecycle products avoid expensive upgrades and redesigns that come from shorter lifecycle products.
