MIX-Q670D1 Mini-ITX motherboard has 4K displays, AI, and 5G capability
A low profile, expandable Mini-ITX motherboard, the MIX-Q670D1 is Aaeon’s latest model. It supports both 12th and 13th Generation Intel Core processors.
It has a low profile of 18.3mm and is compatible with 21 CPUs across the 12th and 13th Generation Intel Core lines. It can support CPUs up to 65W. The MIX-Q670Di is powered by a 12V DC input and offers a considerably higher maximum single core frequency of 5.2GHz than DC-powered Mini-ITX boards at 3.0GHz, advised Aaeon.
The low profile means the MIX-Q670D1 is suitable for applications where space is limited but still require a diverse set of interfaces to integrate cameras, sensors and other peripheral devices. A minimalist physical port layout consists of four USB 3.2 Gen 2 and two GbE LAN ports and audio line-out.
To maintain the board’s slim profile, the MIX-Q670D1 has a variety of internal connectors, including two pin headers for four USB 2.0, two COM port box headers, and an AAFP (analogue audio front panel) header for high definition audio.
There are five display interfaces, coming primarily from vertical onboard ports. There are two HDMI 2.0 and two DP 1.2 ports each capable of 4K resolution at 60Hz. There is also an internal 40-pin LVDs / eDP connector. This layout allows the MIX-Q670D1 to offer up to four simultaneous 4K displays which can be configured across its five display options, according to suit application requirements.
There is also a choice of expansion options available via the MIX-Q670D1’s M.2 2232 E-Key and M.2 3042 / 52 B-Key slots, which provide AI and 5G module support. According to Aaeon, this combination of wireless connectivity, AI support, and high processing power ensures the board can bring edge AI computing capabilities to a range of deployment settings.
For storage, the MIX-Q670D1 is equipped with an M.2 2280 M-Key slot and dual SATA III with Intel VMD (Volume Management Device) support for the installation of performance-boosted NVMe and PCIe modules.
The MIX-Q670A1 is now available for pre-order.
