Versalogic Sabertooth AI – Rugged Embedded Computer with Xeon Intel CPU and NVIDIA RTX 2000 GPU for Defense and Industrial Use

VersaLogic Corporation has recently showcased the Sabertooth AI, a rugged and compact GPU-enabled embedded computer designed for AI and 3D rendering in harsh environments.

It is powered by an Intel Xeon-E hex-core processor and an NVIDIA RTX 2000 ADA GPU, supporting high-performance AI inferencing and CUDA programming. With industrial-grade durability, it operates between -40°C to +85°C and meets MIL-STD-202H for shock and vibration resistance. Key features include 32GB ECC RAM, 128GB NVMe SSD storage, multiple Mini DisplayPort++ outputs supporting up to 8K video, dual Gigabit Ethernet, and extensive industrial I/O options like USB, RS-232/422/485, and digital I/O. Industries widely use it in defence, aerospace, medical, smart security, and energy applications, and it is designed for long-term availability; it ensures reliability in mission-critical operations.

Previously, we have covered some similar embedded computers including the IBASE MediaTek Genio-based Edge AI Computer, the Vecow TGS-1000 Series, the iBase IB961 3.5″ SBC, and many more. Feel free to check them out, if you are interested in this topic.
