Taipei, Taiwan (March 17, 2006)--AAEON, a leading Taiwanese computer platform manufacturer, today announced its Advanced Embedded Motherboard, the EMB-945T, will adopt the latest Intel^® Core™ Duo processors and Mobile Intel^® 945GM Express chipset for better power-management capabilities and enhanced performance.
 
AAEON's EMB-945T with mobile-optimized Intel dual-core processors is the latest embedded motherboard designed to cope with increasingly heavily work-loaded embedded systems found in POS (Point-of-Sale) machines, automated kiosks, medical instruments, advanced automation for buildings and homes, and gaming machines.

"Based on two high performance execution cores with intelligent power management features, the Intel^® Core™ Duo processor delivers significantly greater performance per watt to a wide range of embedded applications," says Ton Steenman, general manager, Infrasturcture Processor Division at Intel Corporation.

The EMB-945T, based on Intel^® Core™ Duo processors, is AAEON's next-generation platform featuring one PCI slot, one PCI-E slot, one Mini PCI slot, six COM ports, four USB 2.0 ports, multiple Digital I/O ports, and Type II CFD storage, providing versatile expansion options for many embedded applications.

The EMB-945T not only keeps the advantages of AAEON's previous embedded motherboard designs, such as the DDRII memory, PCI-Express, and SATA, but also adds more functionality and improved performance. The Front Side Bus is up to 667MHz and graphic performance has been enhanced from 20 to 30%. In addition, the EMB-945T supports DX9L appropriate to the DirectX and LVD/iDCT MPEG2 Hardware Decode. 

AAEON is one of the first computer platform vendors to launch an embedded motherboard with the Intel^® Core™ Duo processors in the IPC industry overcoming current limitations of processing speed and power consumption.

In addition, the early arrival of the EMB-945T is compliant with the RoHS requirements from the European Union effective on July 1, 2006, making it the best-performing and environment friendly embedded motherboard available in the market.
