A motherboard suitable for gaming, automation and digital signage applications, has been introduced by IBASE. The MI987 Mini-ITX motherboard, which is built on the latest 22nm process technology, is based on the Q87 chipset designed to support socket LGA1150 4th Generation Intel Core i7/i5/i3 processors. Compared to its predecessors, the board provides increased processing and graphics performance.

The MI987 is equipped with two DDR3-1600 SO-DIMM sockets to support up to 16GB of system memory and three types of graphics display interface, including VGA CRT, HDMI and DisplayPort. Alongside the display edge-connectors are one serial port, four USB 3.0 ports, two Gigabit Ethernet ports, audio connectors and a 19V DC-in jack that eliminates the need for a internal power supply and reduces the volume of the system chassis.

With long-term availability, the board comes with the following features: two 6Gb/s SATA III interface, two serial ports, watchdog timer, digital I/O, TPM 1.2, iAMT and iSMART. While TPM allows systems to run applications securely, iSMART provides EuP/ErP power saving and intelligent scheduler for better environmental performance. The MI987 is available in both the Intel Q87 and H81 versions.
