Advantech, the embedded platform and integration services provider, announces a new, full range of embedded platforms based on the latest generation of Intel® Atom™ processors. The new platforms are based on the Intel® Atom™ processor N2000 and D2000 series and include: Computer On Modules, Single Board Computers, Industrial Motherboards and Embedded Box PCs. These low-power platforms provide energy-efficient and environmentally responsible solutions, and serve a wide range of applications targeted at handheld devices, POS, kiosks, digital signage, medicine, and factory automation.

“Advantech provides a comprehensive range of embedded platforms with Intel® Atom™ processors as the core of our low power products,” stated Miller Chang, Vice President of Advantech Embedded Computing Group. “Low power features arean important requirement when we develop industrial computers. The latest Intel® Atom™ processor N2000 and D2000 series have not only reduced power consumption, making them more environmentally friendly, but also enabled embedded platforms to improve computing capabilities, especially for graphics and display intensive applications,” continued Miller. “Therefore, the applications targeted at handheld devices, POS, kiosk, digital signage, medicine, and factory automation get better performance on low power consumption.”

“The new generation of Intel® Atom™ processors features improvements in performance, memory, graphics and display technology,” said Jonathan Luse, director of marketing in the Intel Intelligent Systems Group. “This new platform uses Intel’s 32nm fabrication process which lowers power consumption compared to the 45nm process. The clock speed of the DDR3 memory has risen to up to 1066MHz toboost performance. Graphics and image processing capabilities have also improved. A number of additional display interfaces, such asLVDS, eDP, VGA, HDMI 1.3a and DP1.1, and a more advanced image processing instruction set are supported as well,” Luse explained.
