Kontron presents the »K3931-N« mITX motherboards, the successors for the »Gemini-Lake« series, thus expanding its portfolio of compact and energy-saving motherboards. The mITX boards are based on the Intel Core i3 and N series processors.
The CPUs operate in the power range from 6 to 15 W and have numerous improvements and new features compared to the previous series. The motherboards offer scalability in terms of performance, power consumption and cost within one product design and are available in four variants from Rutronik. Only recently, Kontron awarded Rutronik once again as »Best Motherboard Distributor«. Here, the consulting services, the reliable supply of existing customers and the acquisition of new customers were highlighted in particular.
Equipped with the latest UHD Gen12 graphics, they use the same efficient cores based on the Xe architecture. In combinations with up to 32 execution units, accelerated deep learning inference and media processing for various edge applications are supported by Intel AVX2 and Deep Learning Boost.
With up to three display ports V 1.4a, one embedded display port V 1.4b (4K) and one dual-channel LVDS (24 bit), the boards support a maximum of three independent displays with 4K resolution. In addition to interfaces such as GPIO, four COM ports and four USB 3.2 Gen2, the Alder-Lake series has expansion slots for PCIe and two M.2 ports. Furthermore, Kontron's »K3931-N mITX« supports ccTalk and uses a SODIMM socket for DDR5 memory with up to 32 GB.
