Gigabyte launches its series of thin mini motherboards

GIGABYTE Leading manufacturer of motherboards and graphics cards, today announces the premiere of its new series of motherboards based on the Thin Mini-ITX form factor. GIGABYTE's new H77TN and B75TN motherboards enable the creation of slim, compact All-In-One (AIO) PC designs that meet Intel specifications for these AIO PCs.

Featuring a 43% thinner low-profile design than traditional Mini-ITX motherboards, GIGABYTE Thin Mini-ITX boards offer a complete PC experience with the performance and configuration options expected of any PC from desktop. In addition, GIGABYTE Thin Mini-ITX boards also offer flexibility when it comes to power and great expandability through their I / O ports, making them suitable for a wide range of commercial PC configurations and that also meet Intel's specifications for Thin Mini-ITX.

"GIGABYTE Thin Mini-ITX Motherboards underline our commitment to the desktop PC market and underpin our leadership position in the high-growth AIO segment, " said Henry Kao, Vice President, Motherboard Business Unit at GIGABYTE. By incorporating new form factors such as the Thin Mini-ITX, GIGABYTE enables continued innovation in configurations for desktop PCs while also opening doors to other market segments, such as industrial PCs, which traditionally have not been well cared for. ”

“IDC expects AIO's growth rate to be around 26% over the next three years. It is no surprise that AIO is the fastest growing market relative to desktop PCs for 2013 onwards. We are excited to see how GIGABYTE participates in the development of this important ecosystem, ”says Steve Dallman, Intel Vice President for Distribution Channel. “In particular, we are motivated by the idea of ​​seeing GIGABYTE bring out new products, based on Intel® B75 and H77 Express chipsets, for home and small business platforms. I look forward to seeing the new AIO systems built on these new GIGABYTE Thin Mini-ITX motherboards coming to market soon. ”

The GIGABYTE H77TN and GIGABYTE B75TN motherboards are based on Intel® H77 and B75 chipsets, which support 2nd and 3rd generation Intel® Core ™ processors. At just 17cm x 17cm, and a slim 2.5cm, GIGABYTE Thin Mini-ITX motherboards also incorporate flexible power specifications including being able to choose the panel for the power driver, various options for selecting the power of the rear light, including 12V and 19V, and a wide range of options for the input voltage between 12V and 19V.

GIGABYTE Thin Mini-ITX motherboards also offer excellent flexibility when it comes to I / O, with a PCI Express x4 expansion slot accompanied by mSATA and Mini PCIe slots that allow for a wide variety of I / O options which are current as well as backward compatible.

Thin Mini-ITX: A Rapidly Evolving Ecosystem

Thin Mini-ITX builds on the popular and mature 17cm x 17cm Mini-ITX form factor, adding an additional 2.5cm height limitation that ensures compatibility with other chassis and slimmer configurations. Other optimizations are also added such as better CPU socket or SODIMM memory placement, which achieves a form factor built to serve as a base for very elegant designs without compromising performance or other features.

Some All-In-One chassis designs that follow Thin Mini-ITX recommendations are already available, and dozens more are expected during 2013. Most of them combine with HD touchscreens or internal cooling components, and are capable of integrate with GIGABYTE Thin Mini-ITX motherboards.
