NVIDIA IGX Thor™ Rapid Development 3U VPX Single Board Computer
For engineers and system integrators building next-generation embedded AI platforms, the WOLF VPX3U-THOR-RD offers ruggedised AI compute. It comes in a compact 3U VPX form factor.
Designed for tough C5ISR and high-performance embedded computing needs, this module uses NVIDIA® IGX Thor™ technology. It fits a SOSA-aligned architecture to support AI inference, data processing, and fast edge computing. It also helps simplify system integration. The platform is intended to provide rapid development capability with high bandwidth connectivity. In addition, local storage for data-intensive deployments.
At the core of the module is an embedded Blackwell GPU architecture. With 2560 CUDA cores, 96 Gen 5 Tensor cores, Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) support, and a 14-core Arm Neoverse-V3AE CPU running at 2.6 GHz. The platform includes 128 GB ECC LPDDR5X memory and configurable power operation from 60W to 140W.
Its rugged mechanical design supports deployment conditions requiring extended environmental resilience. While the architecture prioritises throughput, compute density and protected data handling for advanced embedded applications.
