Avalue Technology Inc., a global industrial PC solution provider and an associate member of the Intel® Internet of Things Solutions Alliance, is unveiling EMX-WHLGP, based on Whiskey Lake U Intel® Core™ and Celeron® Processors.
The 8th Gen Intel® Whiskey Lake U Core™ SoC i7/i5/i3 & Celeron® BGA onboard processor, leverage the power efficiency of 14nm microarchitecture to deliver double-digit performance compare to the KabyLake Refresh, offers a future-proof platform for intelligent solution development and higher turbo clocks.
EMX-WHLGP, the Thin Mini ITX Motherboard, offering Triple display: two HDMI plus one HDMI switch with one dual-channel LVDS (default LVDS) by Chrontel CH7511 in the resolution of 1920*1080, ideal for all-in-one PC, POS, Digital Signage, and kiosk markets.
Meanwhile, EMX-WHLGP features extended temperature tolerance -20°C~+60°C (with heatsink and heater attached, 0.5 m/s air flow speed testing) and fanless design, which is suitable for industrial and outdoor application under harsh operating conditions. It is designed with high temperature resistant components and automatically heating by EC and heater when operating temperature is below 0°C, which takes around 8 to 10 minutes for EMX-WHLGP to boot up from -20°C. Heatsink with heater for extended temperature is optional for ordering. For customer who does not require extended temperature support, Avalue also offer finished product which support 0°C~+60°C.
