GIGABYTE Showcases Its New IoT Gateway System
GIGABYTE Technology, a leading creator of high performance products for IT professionals and an associate member of the Intel Internet of Things Solutions Alliance, showcases today its new embedded computer solution, the EL-20 series, for the opening of the Embedded World trade show in Nuremberg, Germany (booth no.2-453, Hall 2).
Designed in partnership with Intel for the Intel IoT Gateway program, the EL-20 series comes in 3 variants based on different models of the new Intel SoC processors based on the Airmont architecture and the tri-gate 14nm process. These System on a Chip multi-core processors are designed to drive both computing and graphics performance in embedded scenarios that are particularly sensitive to cost and energy consumption. With a maximum power envelope of just 6W, these processors are an ideal solution to drive processing and graphics performance in industrial computing environments.
The EL-20 products embeds those processors on a high durability motherboard based on the Ultra-compact Form Factor, itself installed within a fanless, industrial grade aluminium case. With a total size of only 141 x 108 x 27 millimeters, the EL-20 feature a large choice of ports and connectivity for its size, offering to its users a highly flexible IoT Gateway solution that will excel at its core purpose: bridging the data output of legacy edge systems with cloud-based analytics infrastructures.

Also, (and I could be wrong but) I think Realtek chips generally use more CPU cycles so why would use it with a relatively weak CPU?
Does PfSense have a problems with Realtek stuff?
Edit: Note to self - fully read previous posts before rant.
