Details of ASUS' upcoming Prime N100I-D D4 Mini-ITX motherboard has made an appearance in official pictures posted over at Fanlesstech, although the board was apparently shown at Computex. The interesting part here is that it's under ASUS' Prime branding, which suggests that this will be a retail product, rather than something that would only be available to OEM partners. The Intel Processor N100 is a quad core 3.4 GHz chip based on Intel's Alder Lake-N and it has a 6 W TDP, which means it can be passively cooled.

Although the SoC supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory, at least for this specific SKU, ASUS went with DDR4 support in the shape of a single SO-DIMM slot which accepts up to 3200 MHz memory. The board also sports a single PCIe 3.0 x2 M.2 slot, an M.2 slot for an optional WiFi module, a PCIe 3.0 x1 slot and a single SATA connector and a USB 3.0 header. The odd thing here is that the SoC supports a total of nine PCIe lanes, but ASUS only appears to have made use of four of them. Around the back is a pair of 10 Gbps USB Type-A ports, a pair of 5 Gbps USB Type-A ports and two USB 2.0 ports, a PS/2 port, a serial port, a D-Sub VGA connector, a DisplayPort and an HDMI port of unknown version—although the SoC supports DP 1.4 and HDMI 2.1—a Gigabit Ethernet jack and three audio jacks.

A shame they didn't implement all the pcie lanes or put on more sata ports. This board would be almost perfect for a custom router or nas but that 1x slot is not going to do much for a high speed NIC or a good sata expansion card.

That was my first thought too. Even if they just put two NICs on the board itself it could work as a router. There are a bunch of Chinese OEMs making N100 based routers that have 4 to 6 2.5GB Intel NICs on board, but I'd gladly pay a bit more for a higher quality Asus version.

Its time to kill that ATX power connector.
That board must be 1000 faster than the cpu ATX connector was introduced, yet using more than 10 times less power. But there it is...
Its nonsense.
