Downsizing Meets Power:
The SBC “de next-RAP8” at Just 55 × 86 mm

Small in Size. Big in Performance.

The de next-RAP8 SBC from AAEON demonstrates how much performance can fit into just 55 × 86 mm.

Ideal for high-performance systems with minimal space

Despite its compact size, the de next-RAP8 offers an exceptionally versatile range of I/O interfaces, making it particularly well suited for robotics applications. These include 2.5 GbE and 1 GbE LAN, six USB ports, two RS-232/422/485 pin headers, and an 8-bit GPIO interface.

Modern Processor Architecture
Equipped with 13th generation Intel Core processors (Raptor Lake), the de next-RAP8 is an exceptionally powerful platform featuring up to 10 cores and 12 threads on 15-watt processors. Thanks to its fast data processing capabilities, the de next-RAP8 is ideal for compute-intensive applications where space is limited. Its outstanding connectivity, versatility, and ultra-compact design are complemented by 16 GB of integrated LPDDR5x memory.

Extensive Expansion Options
