Quote:This AT5IONT is quite old now. When is the follower coming? Hopefully without the atom 45nm shit. I'm waiting for some integrated passive low profile sandy bridge i3-2100T packagThe AT series is a low power embedded product. The follower to the AT5ION will come when there's a new atom chip out.
The i3-2100T is a totally different product, double the price and triple the heat.
I couldn't get the AT5ION to play HD reliably without adding a FAN (albeit 1000 RPM). Good luck sticking an i3 in something similar.
If you want more performance than the Atom in an embedded type board then there is a newer board out from ASUS based on AMDs Fusion chip - the E35M or E45M series. Has allot more juice and ASUS claim fanless for the entry level E35M1-I
@ 18W for the E350 vs 19W for the ATOM, when you consider that the E350 chip includes radeon graphics so you don't also have to add the power and heat of the nvidia graphic chip, then i might just believe it would work fanless.
