AAEON News - Januar 2013 -AAEON Announces High Performance Graphic-Rich TKS-G50-QM77 Embedded Box PC for Demanding Industrial Automation Applications



(Taipei, Taiwan) January 14, 2013 – AAEON, a leading industrial computing manufacturer, released today the TKS-G50-QM77, a new high performance Embedded Box PC, based on the 3rd Generation Intel® CoreTM processor, which can greatly enhance features and improve performance for Industrial Automation applications, by increasing productivity and enhancing workflow while running sophisticated programs.  Designed for flexible customization, the TKS-G50-QM77 can easily be adopted for other applications that require high performance computing in a small form factor enclosure such as Gaming, Advanced Digital Signage, Transportation and Hi-end Kiosks.

Designed with the latest quad core 3rd Generation Intel® Core™ processors and complimented by the Mobile Intel® QM77, the TKS-G50-QM77 offers superb graphic performances via Intel® InTru™ 3D Technology and Intel® Clear Video HD Technology, rich connectivity, remote management through Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT) and Intel® Rapid Storage Technology. The 3rd Generation Intel® Core™  processors offer an overall 38% improvement over the previous generation and with a lower thermal envelop, it is a designer’s choice when designing high performance, small embedded devices.


The TKS-G50-QM77 includes the quad core Intel Core i7-3610QE processor with DDR3 1333/1600 SODIMM memory, and the system has a maximum of 8GB memory.  TKS-G50-QM77 features two Gigabit Ethernet ports, one CRT (or DVI-I optional), 2-channel High Definition Audio, two SATA 6.0Gb/s (supports RAID 0,1 option), one CFast™, two USB3.0, two USB2.0, four COM, a programmable 8-bit Digital I/O and one Mini Card expansion slot for wireless networking options.  DirectX 11, OpenGL 3.1, OpenCL 1.1 and stereoscopic 3D are supported enhancing up to 50% 3D graphics performance and up to 1.8X real time HD-HD transcode improvements.

“The TKS-G50-QM77 offers excellent streaming and 3D solution for advanced graphic-oriented applications,” says Ben Hsu, Product Manager of AAEON’s Embedded Computer Division.  “Scalable from Intel® Core™ i3, i5 to i7 processors, it is well suited to power even the most demanding software applications,” he adds. 

The TKS-G50-QM77 is Windows® 8 ready and supports most legacy embedded Operating Systems.

Intelligent Remote Device Management and Device Monitoring
