LattePanda Iota Debuts: Palm-Sized x86 Single-Board Computer with Intel N150

1 month ago 1

On September 17, the LattePanda Team officially launched the new LattePanda IOTA, a palm-sized x86 single-board computer powered by the Intel N150 quad-core processor. Compared to the previous-generation, LattePanda IOTA offers up to 8x the performance, and provides 2-3x faster CPU speeds and 10-30x better GPU capabilities than the Raspberry Pi 5. It is available with either 8 GB or 16 GB of LPDDR5 memory and 64 GB or 128 GB of eMMC storage, bringing powerful computing to a palm-sized form factor.

LattePanda IOTA maintains full compatibility with the classic LattePanda V1 footprint, including dimensions, interfaces, and mounting holes, making upgrades straightforward. The board features HDMI 2.1 and eDP display output, USB 3.2 Gen 2, Gigabit Ethernet, an M.2 expansion slot, and a GPIO header supporting UART, I2C, and USB 2.0. Additionally, it includes a built-in RP2040 coprocessor, broadening its range of potential applications. With its efficient x86 architecture, extensive I/O options, and long-term supply stability, LattePanda IOTA is well suited for prototyping, edge computing, smart instrumentation, handheld devices, industrial control, and embedded systems.

Available in two configurations—8 GB RAM/64 GB eMMC and 16 GB RAM/128 GB eMMC—LattePanda IOTA natively supports both Windows and Linux, enabling flexible development. Its configurable TDP (6 W-15 W) allows developers to balance performance with power efficiency, adapting to varied edge computing and industrial IoT requirements.

LattePanda IOTA's small size and expanding ecosystem of add-on boards (including UPS, PoE, M.2 M-Key, and 4G LTE modules) make it a versatile solution for industrial automation, portable smart instruments, edge AI devices, logistics and fleet management, and remote monitoring.

Thanks to support for ultra-thin eDP touch displays and UPS modules, LattePanda IOTA is ideal for portable devices, field research kits, and mobile data loggers. Developers benefit from fast prototyping and reliable operation, even in challenging environments.

With the Intel N150 platform's AI inference capabilities, LattePanda IOTA is ready for local, real-time intelligence—supporting smart access control, telematics systems, interactive displays, and off-grid monitoring. Its balance of performance, rich connectivity, and reliability makes LattePanda IOTA a future-ready choice for embedded applications.

LattePanda IOTA empowers developers and engineers to bring advanced embedded computing solutions to life, offering robust performance in a compact, expandable form factor.
