Axiomtek Launches PICO570 Ultra-Compact Pico-ITX SBC with Intel Core Ultra

Axiomtek, a world-renowned leader relentlessly devoted to the research, development, and manufacture of innovative, highly efficient, and reliable industrial computer products, proudly introduces its latest Pico-ITX single board computer, the PICO570. Powered by the Intel Core Ultra processors (Series 1), this ultra-compact solution is designed to meet the evolving demands of edge AI computing. It integrates an 11 TOPS NPU to enable efficient on-device AI inference without requiring discrete accelerators, offering developers a faster time-to-market for space-constrained systems.

AI-Ready Performance with Integrated NPU

Built with Intel Core Ultra processors, the PICO570 features an integrated NPU to accelerate AI workloads directly at the edge. This enables real-time data processing with reduced latency while maintaining power efficiency. With these AI-on-device capabilities, users can simplify system architecture for applications such as edge AI gateways and inference nodes.

Compact Design, Optimized for AI Workloads with NVMe Storage
Despite its ultra-compact Pico-ITX form factor (100 x 72 mm), the PICO570 is purpose-built to support a full-length M.2 Key M 2280 NVMe SSD via a PCIe x4 interface. This design ensures high-speed data access and rapid model loading—both critical for AI and edge inference applications. By combining integrated NPU acceleration with NVMe-class storage, the PICO570 prevents storage bandwidth from becoming a performance bottleneck, enabling responsive, data-intensive AI workloads in space-constrained industrial environments.

Flexible Connectivity with Dual Ethernet

The PICO570 features a dual LAN configuration, including one 2.5GbE port and one GbE port. This setup enables high-bandwidth data transmission alongside a dedicated channel for remote management or network segmentation. This versatility makes it ideal for smart automation controllers, robotics, and intelligent retail infrastructure.

Eco-Friendly Design for Sustainable Edge Computing

Engineered with sustainability in mind, the PICO570 delivers power-efficient performance that helps reduce power consumption at the edge. Its compact design minimizes material usage and contributes to a lower overall carbon footprint throughout the product lifecycle, supporting ESG and green computing initiatives.

“The PICO570 represents a significant advancement in bringing AI capabilities to the Pico-ITX platform,” said Michelle Mi, Product Manager of the EDS Division at Axiomtek. “By combining Intel Core Ultra processors with an integrated NPU, high-speed NVMe storage, and dual Ethernet connectivity, we provide a powerful yet energy-efficient solution for accelerating AI deployment across medical, industrial, and smart city applications.”
