IBASE Technology Inc. (TPEx: 8050), a renowned provider in the design and manufacturing of embedded computing solutions, rolls out the low-power IB838 3.5" single board computer powered by Intel Core i3 N-series (formerly Alder Lake-N) processor. Combining robust computing performance with advanced features, it is positioned to meet diverse needs across multiple industries, including industrial automation and control, retail displays, transportation, and automotive applications.

Fortified with intelligent power handling and a 9 V~36 V DC input range, the IB838 ensures reliability and consistent operations in transportation applications that may encounter variable power conditions. Versatile connectivity makes it ideal for automation processes and data acquisition systems. The SBC offers Type-C, DP++, and eDP or LVDS display options, along with a rich set of I/O interfaces, including two Intel PCI-E 2.5G LAN ports, two USB 2.0 ports, and four USB 3.2 ports (1x Type-C + 3x Type-A).




With CNVi support, the 5G-ready IB838 comes equipped with a high-speed SATA III port and two M.2 sockets (E-key + B-key), providing ample storage and expansion possibilities. Additionally, it boasts four serial ports and digital I/O, facilitating comprehensive connectivity to diverse devices and peripherals. Enhanced security and functionality are integrated through fTPM (firmware-based Trusted Platform Module) and a Watchdog timer for system stability.

The title talks about low power, but there is no power consumption information at all. CPU TDP is also a very bad power measure. Actual lab data should be included.

Low power in industry applications usually is not that low to average joe, i might say. I mean for industry, 100W is low power, compared to 10+ kW total power usage in the factory.
For an average Joe, 10W seems low power. For laptop user 5W is low.

The cpu listed the i3-n305 is 15w down configurable for 9w.
8 e-cores at 3.8ghz, far better than the atom n series it replaces.
N100 is available at lower power but the release said i3 n series so...

Looks nice, and 2x RJ45. It all comes down to price now...

Well... Intel wants $309 for that cpu so... 500-1000 for an embedded appliance like this is not unexpected.
That said, soft-routers with these chips are available for $309 on ali sooo...
