AAEON Unveils GENE-CML5 3.5-inch LGA1200 Motherboard

[btarunr]

AAEON, an industry leader in embedded solutions, announces the GENE-CML5 3.5" subcompact board featuring the 10th Generation Intel Core processors (formerly Comet Lake). The GENE-CML5 brings the latest in computing technology and flexibility, enabling developers to deploy their next generation industrial and AI Edge applications.

The GENE-CML5 brings the LGA1200 socket 10th Generation Intel Core i3/i5/i7 processors, as well as Intel Pentium and Celeron processors to the 3.5" subcompact form factor. Supporting processors up to 4.4 GHz CPU frequency, the GENE-CML5 leverages the socket-type chipset to allow developers and end users to easily maintain, scale, and upgrade the platform to suit their processing requirements. Combined with 64 GB DDR4 memory, the GENE-CML5 delivers fast processing speeds on par with desktop systems. Additionally, the chipset allows the compact board to take advantage of Intel vPro and Intel Active Management Technology (iAMT), enabling remote system monitoring and management.



The GENE-CML5 offers both flexibility and expandability to integrate into existing projects and bring the power of AI Edge Computing to any application. The board features a broad I/O layout including two USB3.2 Gen 2 ports, four USB2.0 ports, and dual Gigabit LAN ports. Display options include DP++, VGA and LVDS connectors.

For expandability, the GENE-CML5 offers an M.2 2280 M-Key slot which can support AI expansion modules, as well as NVMe storage. Additionally, users have access to PCIe 3.0 [x4] expansion with FPC connector. Other storage options include two SATA III (6.0 Gbps) slots, allowing greater storage expansion.

The GENE-CML5 offers developers and users desktop performance in a compact form factor, perfect for deploying AI Edge applications where they're needed. With industry leading manufacturing support and OEM/ODM services from AAEON, developers can customize their boards including I/O layouts to suit their needs.

Paired with a Celeron or Pentium CPU, it would make the base for a nice little home server... if it weren't so expensive.

Sooo, how do we add a 3080to this mofo? (I know its not the target), but I have to say, I possible to have such a small formfactor pair with a 3080-class card, you could make som insane small gamer-pc's (watercooled maybe)

Been down that road... not only are they difficult to cool, but also a pain in the backside to assemble/service. Not to mention the impossible cable management. They're still fun, nonetheless.

IF you do a two plate lower down into box design (one being GPU), one being mobo+x, and then the PSU in the bottom), you could have a really thin lan gamer! (maybe cool it tube/server push/pull) I'll starting up Fusion, call china for production!

Exactly what I was thinking, so just had to look up the price. It is actually surprisingly reasonable considering the very compact form factor and industrial-leaning target market.

The boards (at least Q chipset variants) have PCIe x4 with the FPC connector, technically possible.
I initially wanted to say that this would not make sense when dimensions of the components are considered but then remembered that short-PCB 3080/3090 FE-s exist. The board is 146 x 102 mm, according to quick Google RTX3080 PCB 218 x 105 mm. There are compact waterblocks for 3080FE and that would indeed make an awesomely small system even when need of radiator is considered.

This thing looks great, dual intel lan, dual channel, m.2 slot, this could make a really amazing firewall appliance using OpenBSD or FreeBSD or whatever distro you want for well under $1k.

From the price it sounds like first they had to make ATX board and then cut off all the extra parts and rewire everything by hand.

It would be cool if a board like this was made to make super small PC's, that would be something that I would get into! :0

i don't understand the point of two LAN ports in such small form factor, they should have rather gone with 2 extra usb ports

Router? Redundancy?
