Three new embedded motherboards with 45 nm Intel® Core™2 Duo performance

Eching, Germany/San Jose, USA, 30th March 2009 - At ESC West (booth 1028), Kontron is presenting three new embedded motherboards with 45nm Intel® Core™2 Quad and Intel® Core™2 Duo processors in the form factors Mini-ITX, Flex-ATX and ATX. The Kontron KTGM45 motherboards outperform conventional motherboards which were developed for the consumer market thanks to 7 year long-term availability, highest design quality and a lavish selection of interfaces.

Based on the Mobile Intel® GM45 chipset, the Mini-ITX, Flex-ATX and ATX Kontron KTGM45 embedded motherboards offer an ideal performance-per-watt ratio and up to date interface technology, like PCI Express x16, without neglecting embedded designers' needs. They still carry, for example, 4 serial interfaces alongside the 12 USB 2.0 interfaces. The embedded motherboards also offer more PCB layers than conventional motherboards, in order to achieve excellent signal qualities and optimize electromagnetic compatibility. Furthermore, the new Kontron KTGM45 embedded motherboards premiere a new quality feature: Solid capacitors. Compared to boards with conventional electrolyte capacitors they feature an extended lifetime and little to no wear-out even at the highest temperatures.
