DFI Introduces ARS630: Its First ATX Motherboard Powered by Intel® Arrow Lake-S for Edge AI

DFI, Taipei, Taiwan, 25.08.2025 - DFI, a global leader in embedded motherboards and industrial computers, today introduced the ARS630, a next-generation industrial ATX motherboard and the company’s first product powered by the Intel® Core™ Ultra processor (Arrow Lake-S). Powered by Intel’s latest heterogeneous architecture, the ARS630 integrates CPU, GPU, and NPU for up to 36 TOPS of AI inference at the edge. It offers around 30% lower power consumption than the previous generation. With industrial-grade reliability and versatile expansion, it is ideal for smart manufacturing, machine vision, and security surveillance.

According to TechNavio, the global industrial automation market is projected to grow by USD 124.9 billion from 2024 to 2029, at a CAGR of 10%. To meet rising smart manufacturing demands, the ARS630 supports Out-of-Band (OOB) management, enabling remote access, diagnostics, and system reboot—even when powered off or the OS is unresponsive—enhancing system availability and maintenance efficiency. It also features TPM 2.0 for system security and four SATA 3.0 ports (up to 6Gb/s) with RAID 0/1/5/10 for flexible and secure data storage. These capabilities make it well-suited for integration with controllers, networking modules, and sensors.

This powerful Industrial ATX motherboard equipped with DDR5 dual-channel high-speed memory and PCIe Gen5 expansion slots, ARS630 enhances system data throughput and AI processing performance. Its processor also integrates the Xe-LPG graphics architecture, delivering powerful visual computing and supporting front-end AI image preprocessing to meet the high-efficiency demands of intelligent applications. With support for up to four independent displays, it’s well-suited for multi-screen scenarios. ARS630 features a comprehensive range of I/O and communication interfaces, including up to four 2.5GbE LAN ports, six COM ports, and multiple USB 3.2 and USB 2.0 ports, delivering versatile connectivity for a wide array of industrial and embedded applications.

With its edge-ready design, AI inference performance, and remote manageability, the ARS630 is a reliable computing foundation for smart factories, retail terminals, surveillance systems, and other automation-driven applications.
