DFI Announces Mini-ITX Embedded Board SB100-NRM Supporting 2nd Generation Intel Core Processors

The graphics and processor cores are integrated on a single monolithic die and provide Intel® HD graphics support for DVI-I and VGA display interfaces. The 32-nanometer Intel® Core™ microarchitecture provides higher performance at lower power than previous generation processors, and includes the first quad-core Intel processor with processor graphics integrated into the CPU. Performance is further increased through the introduction of Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions (Intel® AVX) to the instruction set, providing acceleration of complex audio, video, and image processing.



In addition, this new platform supports Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology and

improved Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0, which enables each processor core to

handle two instruction threads and dynamically increase the clock speed when all

cores are not fully utilized. This provides increased performance over the previous

generation platform for both multi-core and non-multi-core optimized application

programs. The combination of improvements to Intel Hyper-Threading and Intel Turbo

Boost technologies and the new three-level cache subsystem insures higher

performance at reduced power consumption across a broad-spectrum of embedded

processing applications.



Support is provided for up to 16GB of DDR3 1066/1333 MHz dual-channel system

memory, two Gigabit LAN controllers, DVI and VGA display interfaces, and Intel®

vPro™ Technology – which features the robust combination of Intel® Advanced

Management Technology 7.0, Intel® Virtualization Technology, Intel® Trusted

Execution Technology – as well as an optional Trusted Platform Module (TPM 1.2).

The integrated Intel® HD graphics engine supports six graphics execution units with

dynamic turbo boost to accelerate video processing, and Intel® Clear Video

Technology providing advanced imaging capability for Blu Ray° and other high

definition video processing.



The SB100-NRM also supports Intel® HD audio with S/PDIF input/output interface,

two Serial ATA ports with speed up to 3Gb/s, two Serial ATA ports with speed up to

6Gb/s, RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 disk configuration, eight USB 2.0 host controller ports, and

one PCI Express x16 expansion slot (Gen 2).



This embedded Mini-ITX board is ideal for applications requiring a stable

revision-controlled platform such as industrial control automation, digital signage,

kiosk, medical equipment, and gaming embedded applications.
