The latest Intel 10th Gen Xeon/Core platform with enriched USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports
“Because our new PEB-9783G2AR FlexATX board has Intel’s Comet Lake-S platform as its backbone, it provides a stable, energy efficient and optimized performance balance of computing power, accelerated graphic processing and overall power consumption,” says Jack Lam, American Portwell’s senior product marketing director. “This means our customers can benefit from the latest Intel 10th Gen processor and chipset technology, multiple I/Os and expansion ports to make it more flexible and functional for their applications.

“What’s more,” Lam adds, “by using Intel 10th Gen Xeon/Core platform (formerly Comet Lake-S) we can offer as many as 2 more cores (20 percent increase) than the previous generation, a performance increase of up to one third on multi-tasking, compute-intensive applications and we’ve improved performance on single-task compute intensive applications by close to 11 percent.

“This important new launch means that not only do our customers get an industrial embedded board featuring the latest Intel 10th Generation Xeon/Core processors with up to 20 USB ports that extend their ability to connect to even more peripherals,” Jack Lam, American Portwell’s senior product marketing director confirms, “but they also benefit from the peace of mind they get from the 10+ years long product life span support inherent with this Portwell product.”
