5x5 motherboard was on 29% less compared to traditional motherboard mini-ITX format
Intel introduced Project 5×5, which is the smallest motherboard with possibility of replacing the CPU in the world. This design allows you to create even smaller mini PCs to conventional desktop processors Skylake.
New 5×5 based on board size 5,5 x 5,8 inches (140 x 147 mm). for comparison, analog for KNU mini-computers has dimensions 4×4 inch, but it is no longer possible to change the processor. As for the motherboard in mini-ITX format, Its size is 6,7 x 6,7 inch. This design is also available in models of Zotac ZBOX (e.g. ZBOX ID90), but the device was designed specifically for this series.
The novelty has received at their disposal LGA (probably, Larga 1151) and small power supply, although the manufacturer claims the support of all systems with a TDP of up to a factor 65 W. For memory allocated two slots SO-DIMM.
To the board, you can connect a SATA drive 6 Gb/s и M2. In the case of M2 carriers, Drives can be connected with the thickness 39 mm, but for a SATA drive to be reckoned with large dimensions.
The users also have a pretty good set of connectors – four USB ports 3.0 and two HDMI, and using a network card for communication (RJ45) and the module Wi-Fi.
PCI-Express slots there, and therefore, users will not be able to connect effective graphics card or an additional controller.
