The i.MX series of chips is open source and boasts impressive RAM and CPU capabilities. The open design helps engineers build boards easily. The i.MX series uses Freescale semiconductors. Freescale semiconductors have guaranteed production life runs of 10 through 15 years, which means the board design will be stable for years. The i.MX 6 can range from $200 to $300 in cost and can handle CPU-intensive tasks easily, such as object recognition in live streaming video:
| Price | Typical Models | Use Cases |
| $200+ | Computer vision, NLP | Sentiment analysis, face recognition, object recognition, voice recognition |
