Looking at CPUs that have been released recently, models with low power and high performance are emerging by applying the latest microprocessors to mobile CPUs where power consumption is important, including desktop CPUs. There are models that are also applied to workstation CPUs. Recently, a model with a small size of 4 inches was confirmed.
The news was confirmed by AAEON, which manufactures and sells OEM/OEM PCs worldwide, featuring an ultra-compact workstation measuring 4.53” x 6.50” (115mm x 165mm). CPU choices include Celeron 6600HE (2.6GHz) with 2 cores and 2 threads, i3-11100HE, i5-11500HE, i7-11850HE, and Xeon W-11865MRE (2.60GHz Boost 4.70GHz) with up to 8 cores and 16 threads. .
The size of Mini ITX is usually 170mm x 170mm, but the mini workstation platform registered at AAEON this time is characterized by a smaller size and high-performance Xeon CPU. For reference, the TDP of the Xeon W-11865MRE CPU consumes 45W.
The I/O configuration on the back of the main board other than this is as follows. 4 USB 3.2Type-A, 2 Ethernet ports (gigabit, 2.5 Gb), 2 SATA3 ports, 2 max 25W PCIe 4.0 x8 slots, M.2 NVMe storage, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support module, etc. .
