A brand new motherboard from ASRock, persevering with the development of soldered CPU fashions. The firm has unveiled an N100DC-ITX, a board outfitted with an Intel N100 processor. The benefit is that the configuration affords very low energy consumption.
N100DC-ITX: after the µATX model, now it’sITX!
With this motherboard, ASRock affords us a mannequin in mini-ITX format, i.e. 17×17 cm. As you’ll be able to see, connectivity has been lowered to the naked necessities. All that’s left is a DDR4 reminiscence slot for as much as 32 GB of reminiscence working at 3200 MT/s. For the graphics card, this mannequin incorporates a PCIe 3.0 x4 connector. As for storage, we discover an M.2 in PCIe 3.0 x2 coupled with two SATA. Lastly, an M.2 Key E is obtainable for putting in a WiFi module.
However, this board is distinguished by the presence of an Intel N100 processor soldered to the board. The latter options 4 E-Cores able to reaching 3.4 GHz in turbo mode, whereas the TDP is ridiculous: simply 6W.
At the rear, connectivity features a PS2 combo for keyboard and mouse, in addition to 4 USB-A 2.0 ports. We stick with the USBs, with two extra type-A ports within the 3.2 Gen1 commonplace. Video outputs are additionally current, with VGA coupled with HDMI. Finally, a serial port is current, as is Ethernet in Realtek 8111H (1 GbE) and audio in ALC897.
However, energy provide can be by way of a 19V AC adapter. The socket is situated on the motherboard’s I/O Shield .
