Update: August 6, 2023

 7.2cm x 10cm SBC claims to be industry’s smallestReview display Systems (RDS) of Westerham is shipping a Pico-ITX single board computer (SBC).

The AAEON Pico-TGU4 SBC has by Intel’s  11thGeneration Core G processors (formerly Tiger Lake)

The Pico-TGU4 offers users the choice of the Intel Core i7, i5, i3 and Celeron processors which support on-board TPM 2.0 and in-band ECC. The board features 32GB of on-board LPDDR4x memory, and SATA III (6.0 Gbps) storage.

The Pico-TGU4 has two expansion slots. The M.2 2280 slot (PCIe 4.0) supports next generation AI accelerators, and the full-sized Mini Card slot supports extra storage, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth.

The Pico-TGU4 also features dual LAN ports, one Intel i225 2.5 Gbps port for ultra-fast LAN connectivity, and an Intel i219 port with support for Intel vPro, enabling remote system monitoring.

The Pico-TGU4 implements AAEON’s proprietary connector, the BIO (Board to Board I/O) connector, which enables enhanced customisation when connecting daughter boards, providing the Pico-TGU4 with excellent expansion capability.

Peripheral support is available with eight USB connections, two serial port headers, 8-bit GPIO and I²C/SMBUS connectors. Embedded DisplayPort (eDP) and HDMI 2.0 outputs support external displays of up to 4K resolution.

With external mechanical dimensions of just 7.2cm x 10cm, the Pico-ITX form factor is the smallest industry-standard SBC. The lightweight board combined with compact physical dimensions enables the computing platform to be used in small, confined spaces.
