Advantech has introduced an industrial-grade, Mini-ITX motherboard supporting the latest Intel Core i7/i5/i3/Pentium processors with LGA 1156 sockets.

The 45 nm Core i7 and Core i5 700 series processors are quad core CPUs with integrated memory controller. The 32 nm Core i5 600 and Core i3 series processors are dual core with integrated graphics and memory controller and HD Graphics with DX10 support.

AIMB-280 is capable of SATA RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 to ensure reliable storage and system protection for network-intensive applications.

The turbo boost monitor application is a Windows sidebar gadget that provides a simple display of processor frequency when turbo boost is active. This further improves performance by allowing processor cores to run at higher frequencies within the available thermal envelope.

Supported operating systems are Windows Vista 32-bit and 64-bit editions with Service Pack 2 and Windows 7, 32-bit and 64-bit editions.

The motherboard is supplied with high connectivity and expansion options including: one PCIe x16 expansion slot, two serial ports, eight USB 2.0 ports and four serial ATA II 300 MBps connectors. It also has software RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 support, offering data storage and data protection, and dual PCI Express-based Intel 82578DM and 82583V gigabit ethernet ports delivering up to 1000 Mbps of bandwidth. All this connectivity is packed into a space-saving, power-efficient and cost-effective Mini-ITX form factor.

With the graphics engine integrated into the processor, these two-chip solutions provide enhanced graphics performance compared with previous Intel platforms. The integrated graphics controller includes: dynamic video memory technology and clear video technology featuring: MPEG2 hardware acceleration; WMV9/VC1 hardware acceleration; AVC hardware acceleration; ProcAmp; advanced pixel adaptive de-interlacing; sharpness enhancement; de-noise filter; high-quality scaling; film mode detection (3:2 pull-down) and correction; TV wizard.
