Intel’s next-generation Core Ultra processors, known as Panther Lake, are arriving on the market. This shift matters because AAEON is launching a dedicated Mini-ITX motherboard to support these chips. Buyers who need compact industrial systems can now access the latest architecture in a small form factor.
New board supports 12 to 24 volt DC power input for industrial deployment
The new board carries the model name MIX-PTLWV1. It is designed specifically for the third-generation Intel Core Ultra processors. This platform targets users who require small-footprint computing with modern processing power.
Specifications
- Processor Support: Intel Core Ultra (Panther Lake)
- Form Factor: Mini-ITX
- Memory: 2x DDR5 CSO-DIMM
- Power Input: 12~24V DC
- Networking: 2x 2.5GbE (2x 10GbE optional)
The motherboard supports a wide range of power inputs from 12 to 24 volts DC. It includes two DDR5 CSO-DIMM slots for memory expansion. A single PCIe slot is available, which can support Gen5 x8 speeds with select CPUs.
Storage options include one M.2 2280 M-Key slot for solid-state drives. Wireless connectivity is handled by an M.2 2230 E-Key slot. The board features four DisplayPort outputs for multi-monitor setups.
Networking capabilities are robust with two standard 2.5GbE RJ-45 ports. Users can optionally add two more 10GbE ports for higher bandwidth needs. Rear I/O provides four USB 5Gbps ports for peripheral connections.
Additional industrial interfaces include RS-232, RS (around $2.42)-422, and RS-485 serial ports. An 8-pin GPIO header and LVDS/eDP support are also available. These features make the board suitable for specialized industrial applications.
AAEON released this motherboard on September 17, 2024. The MIX-PTLWV1 is currently listed without specific pricing or availability details. It stands as the company's first Mini-ITX board for this processor generation.
