The i.MX 95 features high-performance computing, immersive 3D graphics, and a machine learning accelerator designed for edge intelligence applications in automotive, industrial automation, networking, connectivity, and human-machine interfaces. The processor also boasts ultra-fast data throughput and real-time machine learning capabilities [1].

The i.MX 95 series integrates a groundbreaking NXP machine learning accelerator, the eIQ Neutron Neural Processing Unit (NPU), and a next-generation Image Signal Processor (ISP), empowering developers to create smarter, faster, and more efficient edge solutions [2]. This robust feature set addresses the growing demands of next-generation applications.

Advantech, a global leader in edge computing and edge AI solutions, has introduced two new compact Computer-on-Modules based on the NXP i.MX 95 platform: the AOM-5521 (SMARC) and AOM-2521 (OSM) [3]. These modules feature a multi-domain architecture with up to six Arm Cortex-A55 cores running at up to 2.0 GHz, along with a dedicated 2TOPS NPU optimized for Linux-based edge workloads. Compared to previous i.MX generations, they deliver up to 4x the machine learning performance, 2x the data throughput, and 15% greater power efficiency.

The AOM-5521 and AOM-2521 modules serve as key building blocks for the next generation of edge intelligence, enabling engineers to accelerate development, lower power budgets, and expand the possibilities of edge computing [3]. These advancements position NXP and its partners strategically in the rapidly expanding edge AI market.
