Powered by the 8th Generation Intel Core i3/i5/i7 processors (formerly Whiskey Lake), the UP Xtreme Lite provides scalable performance with support for up to 16 GB SO-DIMM memory and SATA III (6.0 Gb/s) available with SATA port and M.2 2280 slot. Expandability for the UP Xtreme Lite includes M.2 2230 E-Key slot, M.2 2280 M/B-Key supporting two PCIe [x1] lanes and M.2 3042/3052 B-Key.

UP Xtreme Lite is designed to be quickly adaptable to any edge computing application. It can connect to a range of devices thanks to four USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, two COM ports, 40-pin HAT header and more on-board connectors. UP Xtreme Lite is also designed for compatibility with the Intel Movidius family of VPUs, including the Intel Movidius Myriad X and the coming 3rd Generation Intel Movidius VPU (formerly Keem Bay).

With support for Wi-Fi expansion, SIM card modules and two Gigabit Ethernet ports, the UP Xtreme Lite can serve as an IoT or edge network gateway. The UP Xtreme Lite also supports 5G modules, along with 4G/LTE to power AI edge computing applications wherever it's deployed.
