Thundercomm, established in 2016 as a joint venture between Thundersoft and Qualcomm, specializes in advanced technologies such as AI, IoT, 5G, and cloud computing. The company recently introduced its latest system-on-module, the TurboX C6690. The compact module is built on the Qualcomm Dragonwing QCS6690 chip, which is manufactured using advanced 4nm process technology designed to enable rapid prototyping and deployment of advanced terminal equipment.

The TurboX C6690 module has a performance capability of up to 6 TOPS (tera operations per second) of AI computing power, powered by the Qualcomm Kryo 7-series CPU and Adreno 7-series GPU. This level of performance is ideal for on-device AI applications, enhancing processing efficiency and reducing latency. The SoM supports modular feature packages and provides substantial PCIe resources for peripheral expansion, including options for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules.
