The MATXM-CORE-411-B from Emerson Network Power is a MicroATX format motherboard based on the very latest Intel® Core™ i7 processor architecture processor and Intel® QM57 chipset giving significant performance and power-saving options over existing Intel® Core™2 Duo based MicroATX products. In addition, the two-chip processor solution includes a new and improved graphics core with Intel® Clear Video Technology, more and faster I/O interfaces and other enhancements to significantly improve the total cost of ownership proposition.
The new Nehalem micro-architecture introduces many innovative enhancements: three level cache hierarchy with two levels dedicated per core to reduce latency; a new power-saving state plus per core power control; each core can now run two threads simultaneously; thread synchronization and new streaming SIMD extensions for better XML performance. In real terms, these enhancements maximize the CPU and graphics performance to improve user experience while staying within the thermal limits.
Intel® Active Management Technology (AMT) enables a remote manager to protect, maintain, and manage the board even if it is in a sleep state, its operating system is unresponsive, hardware (such as a hard drive) has failed, or software agents are missing. This level of remote diagnostic capability enables maintenance costs to be dramatically reduced because systems based on MATXM-CORE-411-B can be updated without requiring a technician to visit.
While being suitable for any MicroATX chassis, an optional midplane is supplied. When mounted within a suitable enclosure, the power and LCD display cables are routed through the midplane allowing the motherboard to be easily removed for servicing and maintenance. MATXM-CORE-411-B has both 12V and 24V PoweredUSB connections suitable for powering devices like bar code scanners and POS printers without the expense of additional power supplies. MATXM-CORE-411-B supports dual independent displays and has VGA/LVDS and HDMI interfaces for connection to the widest possible range of displays.
