I like the look of that Gigabyte one. The specs on these things are impressive.

koolpc · 7 Jan 2011 at 23:13

Yea GB board looks impressive.

MTA99 · 7 Jan 2011 at 23:13

The Sapphire would drop into my NAS perfectly. Have 5 drive ICY Dock in the front so having 5 sata ports without the need for pci card would be great. Certainly better than my Atom 330D

gropingmantis · 7 Jan 2011 at 23:15

It will be interesting to see what appears when Llano comes out later this year. I believe the Desktop/SFF version of Llano is called Lynx and they will become the A series chips with better graphics and 4 cores. Nice.

I've been looking at the previews for some of the Fusion boards over the last few days. I need one!
Think it'd be more of a sidegrade on the CPU, going from the downclocked X3. However, the lower power usage, better features and slightly faster graphics are pretty damn tempting.

The pictures going about of the Asus E35MI-I Deluxe look good, liking that cooler.
Not sure what price on these is like though... $150 for the Gigabyte?

JonJ678 · 8 Jan 2011 at 02:59

Benchmark of the processor involved here. Think I'll hold fire on buying an atom mini-itx board.

MTA99 · 8 Jan 2011 at 16:42

Added a few more boards to first post. All very much like the others.

Methanoid · 13 Jan 2011 at 11:02

Nice thread (well done OP). I'm watching for prices on the Asus and Sapphire ones as they have 5 SATA and one eSATA. Not enough ITX boards out there for low power servers yet.

R088ieS86 · 13 Jan 2011 at 13:51

I was going to say these look like they should run cool with the size of the coolers/ heatsinks etc... Until I saw that Asus E35MI-I Deluxe :eek:

Emlyn_Dewar · 13 Jan 2011 at 15:40

Passive is the way to go, I'd quite like to eliminate all or as much fan noise as possible.
I must say, I like the Jetway purely because it has a PCI slot for my existing cards... Would rather there was built in wifi but the mini PCIe could be used I guess.

Frozennova · 13 Jan 2011 at 19:29

The passively cooled Asus looks brilliant, coupled with a couple of 5400rpm drives and a Pico PSU and your as close to silence as physically possible without streaming video over NAD or SSDs

vanandjuanunited · 14 Jan 2011 at 13:41

Any firm release dates for these?

Methanoid · 15 Jan 2011 at 16:25

It says the chipset can support 6xSATA so why we arent seeing more boards with puzzles me!

MTA99 · 15 Jan 2011 at 20:02

There are a couple of boards with 5 internal SATA with the 6th being used for e-SATA. 6 internal would be great for NAS but I guess its a niché market

Emlyn_Dewar · 17 Jan 2011 at 10:27

Really need to see these released to see what sort of pricing we'll be given in the UK.
Hopefully don't get shafted, ~$110 is a decent price for that ASRock board, given it's performance.

deusexlumina · 17 Jan 2011 at 12:00

Very nice indeed. Will be holding out for one of these bad boys

Asus E35MI-I Deluxe approx €150

Feature packed ITX board for €153
The first AMD Fusion motherboards are expected to start trickling onto the market within weeks and we’ve come across the first listing of an Asus Fusion board.

Dubbed E35M1-I Deluxe A50M, the mini-ITX mother is based on AMD’s Hudson M1 Fusion Controller Hub and packs AMD’s new E-350 Fusion processor. The E-350 is a 1.6GHz dual-core processor with integrated HD 6310 graphics and a TDP of just 18W. Thanks to the low TDP, the board is passively cooled and it features a rather large aluminium heatsink with four heatpipes.

The board has two DDR3 slots, a PCIe 2.0 x16 slot, DVI and HDMI outputs, two USB 3.0 ports, courtesy of an NEC controller, as well as four regular and four internal USB 2.0 ports. It also has an eSATA port, five SATA 6Gbps ports, WiFi and even Bluetooth. It’s an all solid capacitor design, which is hardly surprising considering the €150 price tag.

It might sound like a lot, but bear in mind that Atom mini-ITX boards with Nvidia’s ION graphics usually cost about €100 and they are no match for the new Fusion platform. We will probably see cheaper Fusion boards as well, since this one is overkill for most users. Sadly, we still don’t know the exact availability date.

Epic fail IMHO... Far too much. Anything over £100 is failing :mad:
