HoodThe Intel N3050 SOC is a dual core, but has no HyperThreading, (ark.intel.com/products/87257/Intel-Celeron-Processor-N3050-2M-Cache-up-to-2_16-GHz). The N3700 quad-core is the fastest CPU in the "Airmont" series, (ark.intel.com/products/87261/Intel-Pentium-Processor-N3700-2M-Cache-up-to-2_40-GHz?q=N3700), but Asus doesn't offer that SOC on it's boards. Asrock, however, is offering a board with N3700, (www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/N3700-ITX/), although it's not in retail channels yet (and possibly will not be offered in the U.S.) Airmont architecture SOCs are faster than the Bay Trail SOCs they replace, but they're clocked a lot slower, so they run about the same. The advantage of Airmont is a 6 watt TDP and up to 16 EUs, (as opposed to Bay Trail's 11 watt TDP and only 4 Execution Units). So graphics are now on par with AMD's SOCs like the Kabini A4-5000 (which has a 15 watt TDP).

brunelloindeed, I'm searching for an ITX with DC input, the only I can find is the Asrock AM1 (and still here is 70€!!), I'd love an FM2+ itx with DC input, or a decend 1150...

I don't get why they even bother to put the 24pin + 4pin EPS on a soldered board with sub 10w cpu....
