Fanless PC/104 CPU Module

The PCM-3350, with its GX1-300 onboard processor and low power, fanless performance, represents Advantech's next generation of PC/104 products. The Geode processor, on-chip PCI VGA for VGA and TFT LCD support, and Intel 82559 Ethernet chip, provide amazing power and functionality. The ability to stack a full range of PC/104 modules such as sound, PCMCIA, GPS, additional LAN, plus many others, greatly expands the range of applications.

The GX1 processor provides the lowest power consumption and high-speed performance for any x86 processor at these performance levels. The GX1 processor brings 0.18-micron technology to the Advantech PC/104 line and allows users to enjoy the added speed and efficiency 0.18-micron technology has to offer.
