Xsight Labs launches low-power DPU (E1L) for AI infrastructure
What happened
Xsight Labs announced the E1L, the newest member of its E-Series data processing unit portfolio. The E1L provides fully programmable DPU capability up to 200G while using as little as 25 watts TDP. It is built on open standards and runs standard software, allowing offload written for the edge to run on a data center DPU.
