Motherboards upgrade to dual-core processors
Itox has added first Intel dual-core products into its long-life product line.
It also supports Intel Enhanced Memory 64 Technology (EMT64T) and Enhanced Intel Speedstep Technology (EIST), required by high-performance and low-power applications.
In addition, the chipset on the BL100-N incorporates an updated graphics memory controller hub (GMCH), providing higher performance at lower power.
With a 13W thermal design power, the Q35 Express chipset provides a 50% power savings over the Intel Q965 Express chipset.
Using a standard 240-pin DDR2 DIMM socket, the BL100-N supports cost-effective 667 or 800MHz DDR2 SDRAM modules with a maximum of 2Gbyte capacity.
The onboard graphic features of the BL100-N include the integrated Intel GMA3100 graphics engine with up to 384Mbyte of memory.
A VGA graphics port provides up to 2048 x 1536 at 75Hz resolution, supporting applications such as medical imaging, security and surveillance and digital signage.
The onboard LVDS DFP interface provides dual-display capability for LCD panels with up to UXGA (1600 x 1200) resolution (18 or 24bit).
Six-channel 5.1 audio support is provided using a Realtek ALC662 high definition audio codec with 24bit audio output.
Other significant BL100-N features include four SATA (Serial ATA) interfaces, providing transfer speeds up to 3Gbit/s.
Additional performance increases are realised through the incorporation of Intel Quiet System technology, which regulates system and processor fan speeds for noise reduction, and Intel Virtualisation Technology for Directed I/O for improved I/O virtualisation system reliability and security.
Evaluation units of the Itox BL100-N motherboard are available now with production units available by the end of Q3 2008.
One-off list price is US $370.
