# 1. Introduction

The MXM-AXe is an MXM 3.1 Type A-compliant module featuring Intel® Arc™ GPU (formerly “Alchemist”). It offers up to 8 Xe HPG, 8 Ray Tracing cores, and 128 Execution Units, along with 4GB GDDR6 at maximum bandwidth of 112 GB/s. Configurable up to 50W TGP and supporting PCIe Gen4 x8 lane connections make it well suit for various graphics-demanding applications, including medical ultrasound, gaming, media streaming, transportation, test and measurement, data analysis, defense, and more.

Graphics outputs include up to four simultaneous displays at DP 2.0 or HDMI 2.0. For graphics decoding and encoding, the MXM-AXe features DX12 Ultimate/DX12, Vulkan1.1, OpenCL 3.0, OpenGL 4.6 support AV1/VC/VC1/MPEG2/HEVC/H.265/VP9/JPEG HW decode and HEVC/AVC/MPEG2/VP9 HW encode.

By leveraging the well-established Intel graphics ecosystems, such as Intel OpenVINO for AI, Intel oneAPI (Media SDK inside) management tools, that edge developers have enjoyed and relied on for years, the MXM-AXe allows you to migrate from integrated to discrete graphics, and up to scale, smoothly and effortlessly.

# 5.2. HDMI Mode Select

The HDMI Mode Select Switch allows you to configure the display outputs to be HDMI signals. A specific VBIOS setting and level shift for HDMI usage on carrier board are also required

![The image displays a split view. On the left, two white boxes contain black text: the top box reads 'Pin 1' and 'Pin 2,' and the bottom box reads 'Pin 3' and 'Pin 4.' On the right, a close-up of a green printed circuit board (PCB) shows various electronic components. Two black DIP switches are prominent, arranged vertically. Each switch is labeled with white text including '82' at the top, 'DIP' and 'ON' on the left side, and '1 2' on the right side. Other small surface-mount components and circuit traces are visible across the board.](.mxm-axe-manual-50m-74000-1000-10-230731/9e143541a594bce15236eee299fbde8e43c896f6ec8c869c2d5056a8ab5cfae4.jpg)

# 5.3. MIPI20 Debug Connector

This connector is particular useful during bring up phase. It will require additional MIPI20 to MIPI60 cable and a dedicated debug card with specific SW tool. This is only for ADLINK internal debug usage.
