Advanced features and architecture to boost performance

“Customers that use first-generation Intel Atom processors and need some extra features will be very happy to see this product,” states Jack Lam, American Portwell Technology’s senior product marketing manager. “The faster CPU—up to dual core 1.66 GHz—and advanced features—such as the Intel 64 architecture and superb graphics now possible with integrated Intel DX9 graphics and Intel Dynamic Video Memory Technology 4.0—will help boost performance significantly.”

Fanless configuration and long product life cycle

According to Frank Shen, American Portwell Technology’s product marketing director, the compact PEB-2780VG2A board benefits from the Atom processor’s low power and low heat so it can function as a fanless and battery-operated configuration to provide greater flexibility and cost-savings. What’s more,” Shen continues, “our customers not only benefit from American Portwell’s ability to consistently provide the most up-to-date technology and features, but they also gain peace of mind from the long life cycle support inherent with every Portwell product.”
