Foxconn Introduces Two Motherboards on Intel NM70 Chipset

Foxconn is proud to introduce a pair of new mini-ITX motherboards, developed on Intel NM70 chipset. Entitled D70S-P and D70S-PD, this couple is intended for the incorporation into small-sized, power-saving and low-noise PCs, workstations, network and multimedia stations. Both new-comers are initially equipped with two-core Intel Celeron U1037 CPUs (Ivy Bridge generation). They operate at 1.8 GHz and consume 17 W only.

Foxconn D70S-P and D70S-PD feature an integrated Intel HD Graphics core that ensures smooth and quality imaging on movie watching (support for Full HD resolutions), game playing (with average demands), Internet surfing, and work with various applications. Cooling of all crucial components, including the key computing block, is secured by means of an aluminum heatsink with an onboard low-profile fan. Despite the dimensions, 170x170 mm only, the product allows for the incorporation of any contemporary hardware pieces.

Therein, memory block consists of a single SO-DIMM slot available for the installation of DDR3/DD3RS/DDR3L modules with up to 8 GB capacity. Their maximal clock frequencies might achieve 1600 MHz. In order to expand the boards’ facilities, the user will be able to use one PCI Express x1 and one mini-PCI slot. Disk subsystem is supported by three SATA II 3 Gb/sec ports and one SATA III 6 Gb/sec port. Audio facilities are realized due to 5.1-channel Realtek Audio codec.

Special attention was provided to external interfaces. Therefore, Foxconn D70S-P accommodates four USB 2.0 ports, one RJ45, one COM port, two PS/2 ports, three audio outputs, and two video ports (HDMI and D-Sub). In its turn, Foxconn D70S-PD boasts three standard outputs, four USB 2.0 ports, D-Sub and DVI ports, two PS/2 ports, one RJ45, and one COM.
