Avnet Brings High Performance on ARM-based processors to Two New Computer-on-Modules in Collaboration with Qualcomm

Nuremberg, Germany – April 10, 2024 – In collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., Avnet (Nasdaq: AVT) is launching two new ARM*-based System on Modules (SoM) at Embedded World 2024. These modules, powered by Qualcomm^® QCS5430 and Qualcomm^® QCS6490 processors, bring a new level of performance to Avnet’s portfolio of SMARC modules.

SMARC* (Smart Mobilty ARCHitecture) is a versatile small form factor computer module for applications that require low power, low costs and high performance.

“Our new collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies allows Avnet to extend our offerings of modules to include high-end ARM technology,” said Thomas Staudinger, president, Avnet Embedded. “These solutions deliver powerful performance and are purpose-built for industrial and commercial IoT applications. These applications include ruggedized handhelds and tablets kiosks, industrial scanners, dash cameras, point-of-sales systems and human machine interface systems.”

“The convergence of edge computing and AI is transforming industries, ushering in a new era of intelligent devices,” said Enrico Salvatori, Senior Vice President and President, Qualcomm Europe/MEA of Qualcomm Europe, Inc. “Qualcomm Technologies is proud to announce our industrial IoT collaboration with Avnet and support the launch of their new AI-capable SMARC modules, powered by the QCS6490 and QCS5430 processors.”

SM2S-QCS6490 offers maximum CPU, GPU and NPU performance at a well-balanced power consumption, whereas the SM2S-QCS5430 offers a good balance between compute, power consumption and price.
