Intel has launched two new motherboards designed to fuel the growth of nettops and small form factor computing. The Intel Desktop Board D945GSEJT with the Intel Atom Processor is designed for nettops. Another new small form factor motherboard, the Intel Desktop Board DG41MJ, supporting low power (65W) Intel Core2 Quad processors and Intel Core2 Duo processors, offers users a space saving desktop solution that meets the everyday multimedia needs, the company said.
Intel Desktop Board D945GSEJT comes fully-integrated with the 45nm Intel Atom Processor N270 and the Mobile Intel 945GSE Express Chipset. For all-in-one PCs, this motherboard can be customized into entry-level or secondary home entertainment PCs, education PCs, or Internet-centric PCs for businesses. For commercial usage models, this motherboard can be customized into industrial designs such as such as internet kiosks, and home surveillance units.
"Proliferation of small form factor desktops can spur significant growth in the overall desktop PC category. Key to tapping this growth of small form factor desktops is smaller motherboards, which enables greater design flexibility and new opportunities for desktop innovation. Intel Desktop Board D945GSEJT and Intel Desktop Board DG41MJ will allow us to offer our customers' access to truly innovative solutions that lower system size and power consumption, while boosting aesthetics and performance," said John Deatherage, Director (Business Clients Group), Intel.
Featuring the integrated 45nm Intel Atom processor N270 the Intel Desktop Board D945GSEJT delivers robust performance per-watt for cost-effective and low-power solutions, the company claimed.
The Mobile Intel 945GSE Express Chipset features power-efficient graphics with an integrated 32-bit 3D graphics engine based on Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 architecture. The Intel Desktop Board D945GSEJT promotes channel diversification into innovative solutions based on its mini-ITX (170mm x 170mm) form factor, total board height of only 20mm, and passively cooled components for very thin and potentially fanless system designs.
It features VGA and DVI dual graphics for LVDS options. The Intel Desktop Board D945GSEJT also supports low-cost external 12 V power, onboard power for SATA storage devices, internal USB and IDE flash disk-on modules, network boot via gPXE/iSCSI protocol, and wireless connectivity via the PCI Express Mini Card slot (including mechanical support for up to three external antennas through the supplied I/O shield). The Intel Desktop Board D945GSEJT will be available towards end of first half this year.
The Intel Desktop Board DG41MJ is available now for PC manufacturers and system builders to order from Intel authorized distributors.
