DFI CR908-B Datasheet

Overview

DFI today announces the CR908-B, the first COM Express Compact module in DFI's product line based on the new Mobile Intel® QM77 Express chipset. This Type 6 module supports the 3rd generation Intel® Core™ processors in BGA 1023 package. The supported processors are built on Intel's 22-nanometer process technology and boast a 15% greater CPU performance over the previous generation processors. These processors also offer higher performance at lower power consumption than the 2nd generation processors which are also supported on these module boards.

The Intel® HD Graphics 4000 engine integrated into the processors delivers up to 50% 3D graphics performance improvement and up to 1.8x HD to HD transcode performance increase. The Intel® Clear Video HD Technology provides advanced imaging capability for Blu Ray and other high definition video processing. Graphics APIs include DirectX 11, and OpenGL 3.1. Targeted for medical and gaming applications, CR908-B brings enhanced graphics performance by supporting 3 independent displays in any combination of VGA, LVDS and DDI (HDMI, DVI, and DisplayPort) allowing you to choose the best combination to suit various applications requirements.

The low power module boards take full advantage of the Mobile Intel® QM77 Express chipset which is packed with high performance I/O capabilities to provide increased mobile computing and graphics performance. With the new USB 3.0, it allows your system to process more data load. It provides 4 USB 3.0/2.0, 4 USB 2.0, 2 SATA 3.0 ports with speed up to 6Gb/s, 2 SATA 2.0 ports with speed up to 3Gb/s, 1 SMBus, 1 I2C, and 4-bit input and 4-bit output GPIO for device controls.

The board offers additional expansion capability via 1 PCIe x16 slot for video capture card, and 1 PCIe x4 and 3 PCIe x1 or 7 PCIe x1 slot.
