Press release
INTEL SOLUTIONS SUMMIT, Prague, April 23, 2009 - Intel today launched two new channel motherboards designed to fuel the growth of nettops and affordable small form factor computing. The Intel® Desktop Board D945GSEJT featuring the Intel® AtomTM Processor is designed for innovation which will provide stylish and affordable nettops that pushes the traditional imagination of what an all-in-one client should be. The Intel® Desktop Board DG41MJ Classic Series supports low power (65W) Intel® CoreTM2 Quad processors and Intel® CoreTM2 Duo processors and offers a space saving desktop solution to meet everyday multimedia needs.
The Intel® Desktop Board D945GSEJT comes fully integrated with the 45nm Intel® AtomTM Processor N270 and the Mobile Intel® 945GSE Express Chipset making this an ideal platform for building all-in-one PCs that are affordable, thin and low-power. This versatile motherboard can be customized into entry-level or secondary home entertainment PCs, education PCs or Internet-centric PCs for businesses.
"Proliferation of small form factor desktops can spur significant growth in the overall desktop PC category. Key to tapping this growth is smaller motherboards, which enables greater design flexibility and new opportunities for desktop innovation," said John Deatherage, director for Intel's Business Clients Group. "Intel® Desktop Board D945GSEJT and Intel® Desktop Board DG41MJ will allow us to offer our customers' access to truly innovative solutions that lower system size and power consumption, while boosting aesthetics and performance."
For a space-saving solution ideal for digital home entertainment, home office, and daily computing needs, the Intel® Desktop Board DG41MJ Classic Series is based on the Intel® G41 Express Chipset. The board may be small but it offers legacy to premium features such as parallel port, integrated VGA and DVI ports, Intel® HD Video experience, Intel® High Definition Audio and integrated 10/100/1000 network connection to enrich users' multimedia creation experience. For fast and efficient computing performance, this mini-ITX form factor board supports Intel® CoreTM2 Quad processors and Intel® CoreTM2 Duo processors up to 65W Thermal Design Power (TDP) and 1333 System Bus. Additionally, the motherboard is Microsoft Windows Vista* Premium WHQL certified.
The Atom brand Intel® Desktop Board D945GSEJT delivers robust performance per-watt to enable cost-effective and low-power solutions. The Mobile Intel® 945GSE Express Chipset features power-efficient graphics with an integrated 32-bit 3D graphics engine based on Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950 architecture. The combined platform delivers impressive power-optimization and rich I/O capabilities, such as PCI Express* Mini Card and conventional PCI slots, Serial ATA ports, Hi-Speed USB 2.0 and GbE LAN connectivity, Intel® High Definition Audio, and legacy I/O expandability.
Additionally, the motherboard promotes channel diversification into innovative solutions based on its mini-ITX (170mm x 170mm) form factor with a total board height of only 20mm and passively cooled components for very thin and potentially fanless system designs. It features VGA and DVI dual graphics for LVDS options and also supports: low-cost external 12 V power, onboard power for SATA storage devices, internal USB and IDE flash disk-on modules, network boot via gPXE/iSCSI protocol and wireless connectivity via the PCI Express Mini Card slot (including mechanical support for up to three external antennas through the supplied I/O shield). The Intel Desktop Board D945GSEJT will be available in the second quarter of 2009.
