SolidRun Launches Bedrock R7000 Mini PC with Ryzen R7 Processor

SolidRun, a leading provider of innovative computing solutions, has introduced the groundbreaking Bedrock R7000 Mini PC, a rugged and powerful system that brings together cutting-edge technology to cater to the growing demand for Edge AI applications in harsh environments. With its unique combination of an 8-core AMD Ryzen 7040 series processor and multiple Hailo-8TM AI accelerators, the Bedrock R7000 is a game-changer in the world of artificial intelligence.

The heart of the Bedrock R7000 is the AMD Ryzen 7840HS processor, a state-of-the-art 4nm APU with an 8-core, 16-thread Zen4 CPU and integrated RDNA 3 Radeon 780M GPU. This powerful setup is complemented by 20 native PCIe Gen4 lanes and the ability to accommodate up to three Hailo-8TM AI accelerators. With NVMe Gen4x4 storage, dual 2.5 Gbit Ethernet, and support for up to 4x4K displays, this mini PC is fully equipped to handle demanding AI workloads.

One of the standout features of the Bedrock R7000 is its fanless cooling system, allowing for passive cooling of the CPU and all devices. This innovative design ensures efficient and silent operation even in extreme temperatures ranging from -40ºC to 85ºC, making it suitable for a wide range of industries, including Industry 4.0, robotics, healthcare, smart cities, and defense.

SolidRun's Bedrock R7000 is specifically tailored for vision-based situational awareness applications, where edge AI capabilities are crucial for real-time decision-making in rugged environments. Thanks to its modular design, the system supports linear scaling of inference performance by adding Hailo-8TM AI accelerator modules. Each Hailo-8TM module delivers an impressive 26 Tera Operations per Second (TOPS), and by combining up to three of them, the Bedrock R7000 can achieve an astounding combined inferencing performance of up to 78 TOPS.

The mini PC's hardware specifications are equally impressive, featuring an AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS / 7840U processor with 8 cores and 16 threads, capable of reaching up to 5.1 GHz. The AMD Zen4 4nm microarchitecture integrates the AMD Radeon 780M GPU with up to 12 CUs @ 2700 MHz. The CPU power is fully customizable within a wide range of 8W to 54W, offering flexibility and efficiency for various AI workloads.

Memory and storage options are also top-notch, with 2x SODIMMs supporting up to 64 GB DDR5 ECC/non-ECC RAM and 3 NVMe 2280 PCIe Gen4x4 devices, including enterprise-grade NVMe with power loss protection (PLP). The rugged design extends to the conduction-cooled RAM and storage, ensuring reliable operation even in the harshest conditions.

For seamless integration and convenience, the Bedrock R7000 is equipped with a wide range of I/O options, including four displays with HDMI 2.1 and three DP 2.1 ports, dual 2.5 Gbit Ethernet (Intel I226), optional WiFi 6E + BT 5.3, and multiple USB 3.2 ports. All I/O ports are thoughtfully organized on a single face, simplifying the integration process.

SolidRun's commitment to user-friendly design is evident in the Bedrock R7000's support for all major PC operating systems, including popular Linux distributions, Windows Desktop, Server, and IoT.

The Mini PC's power, mechanical, and thermal design further reinforce its suitability for challenging environments. The electronic design is modular, based on SoM (System on Module) technology, with power input facilitated by a dedicated interchangeable module to support various deployment use cases. The enclosure is constructed from heavy-duty machined aluminum with an anodized finish, offering three variants for different cooling capacities and mounting options.

The Bedrock R7000's fanless design can handle up to 60W, which is significantly higher than the cooling capacity of typical fanless PCs of similar size. This impressive cooling capability is achieved through cutting-edge innovations, including liquid metal TIM, 360º stacked heat pipes, dual-layer chimney effect heat exchangers, and thermal coupling of all internal devices.

As of now, the Bedrock R7000 Mini PC is not available for consumer purchase. For those interested in this state-of-the-art Edge AI solution, SolidRun's website provides more detailed information and the option to request a quote for a Bedrock R7000 system.

With the launch of the Bedrock R7000, SolidRun has once again demonstrated its dedication to pushing the boundaries of computing technology, delivering a rugged and powerful AI solution that is poised to revolutionize industries reliant on vision-based situational awareness and edge AI capabilities.
