Expo exposes China's first APU motherboard

AMD Brazos APU low-power fusion platform is on the verge of success, and related accessory products have also begun to appear frequently. On the motherboard side, GIGABYTE recently revealed a Mini-ITX mini-board. Soyjet also unveiled a non-standard mini-board for the first time in the country. The unnamed motherboard has a length and width of 21 x 17 cm and is smaller than the 24.4 x 21.8 cm Micro ATX, but it is one lap larger than the 17 x 17 cm Mini-ITX. Although some of the alternatives, on the one hand, the size of the motherboard is well reduced, which is suitable for small chassis. On the other hand, there is enough space to accommodate more components, materials, and expansion interfaces and slots. The motherboard comes with the processor model E-240, the development codename Zacate, a single core (Gigabyte E-350 dual core), clocked at 1.5GHz, integrated DX11 Radeon HD 6310 graphics core (80SP/500MHz), UVD3 video decoding engine, DDR3 memory controller and other modules, the overall thermal design power consumption of only 18W, just two-phase power supply is sufficient to deal with, heat dissipation only uses a common patch plus a small fan. The Hudson D1 chipset for single chip design is also just a small heat sink. In addition, the motherboard uses only solid capacitors in the processor and memory, and the remaining parts are still electrolytic capacitors. Although this may not look gorgeous, it is more than sufficient to cope with, and it can effectively reduce costs. Two memory slots are provided to support dual-channel DDR3, but the exact frequency is not disclosed. It is estimated that the maximum is 1333MHz. Not only four SATA 6Gbps, two SATA 3Gbps, but also PCI-E x16, PCI-E x1, and PCI slot are available for expansion. It can install enough storage and expansion devices. This is also Mini-ITX. The main board is difficult to match. The back input and output interfaces are also readily available, including PS/2 (KeyBoard), VGA, DVI, HDMI, four USB 2.0, RJ-45, and three audio ports. Unfortunately, there is no USB 3.0. It is understood that the Sogo this micro-board APU platform has been completed, will be listed soon after the release of the processor, but the specific price has not been determined, I believe that the price should be good.
