Giada USA announces Broadwell Core i5 powered Thin Mini ITX Motherboard

Giada USA, a provider of Micro Servers, Mini-PCs, and embedded motherboards, announces the MG-5200SL Thin M-ini ITX motherboard for digital signage, powered with the latest 14nm sized Broadwell processors. The MG-5200SL boasts a powerful Core i5 CPU with 3MB Cache and speeds up to 2.7GHz for better performance and lower power consumption. A dedicated Nvidia GT730 GPUenables powerful graphics performance, supporting 4K Ultra HD resolution and multiple displays. With rich connectivity and JAHC technology for unmanned operation, the MG-5200SL is ready for the most demanding digital signage applications.

Rather than relying on integrated graphics solutions, the MG-5200SL uses a dedicated Geforce GT730 GPU with 384 CUDA cores for 4K Ultra HD and multi-display capability. 2GB of DDR3 dedicated VRAM ensures memory-complex signage displays run smoothly even when the CPU is busy with data processing. Based on the Intel Thin Mini-ITX standard for All-In-One(AIO) PCs, the MG-5200SL fits the same 6.7"x6.7" footprint as a standard Mini-ITX motherboard yet measures just 0.95"(24mm) tall. This slim form factor allows the MG-5200SL motherboard to not only fit into standard Mini-ITX chassis but also Thin Mini-ITX chassis for a very slim profile. Meeting Intel's AIO standard the MG-5200SL can also be used to power all-in-one PCs with high resolution displays.
Rich Expansion and I/O Connectivity
Despite its compact size, the MG-5200SL offers rich expansion and connectivity including 16GB max memory capacity with two DDR3 SODIMM slots, two SATA III ports, and two full-height mPCIe slots - one of which accepting mSATA SSDs. Graphics are supported through onboard LVDS and external HDMI, DVI and VGA ports. I/O connectivity includes two COM serial ports onboard for communication and control, four external USB ports with four more available on the motherboard, Gigabit ethernet, and audio input/output.

JAHC Technology for Unmanned Operation
JAHC Technology improves unmanned operation with features like scheduled boots and shut downs, auto-reboot on crash, and the ability to self-boot after a power loss has occurred. The MG-5200SL allows more reliable, unattended digital signage displays.

Good to see Giada making more products. I always liked their hardware ever since the N3 cube that is still playing my 1080p videos today!

You know, this sounds quite cool actually having that processor and an ok GPU on board is actually something I would look into for a tiny machine. The only way I feel this could have been better is if they used an MXM port for the GPU (Or supported it) as I would love something tiny that could support MXM GPU. Though that is just me and probably a dream...

Still, cool looking product!

You know, Intel keeps calling dual-core processors i5s and i7s...I wonder if they've ever heard that saying about putting lipstick on a pig?

It would be better if i3 were 2 core, i5 were 4 core, i7 were 6 core and HEDT 8 core.
