| Maker | Intel |
|---|---|
| Type | Single-board computer or edge AI board |
| GPU share of memory | 50% (what the GPU can typically be given for a model) |
| Chip | Intel Core i5-1340P |
| AI accelerator | Intel Iris Xe graphics (80 EUs); no NPU. |
| Boards with this chip | LattePanda Sigma |
| Memory type | LPDDR5-6400, dual channel |
