ASUS Prime N100I-D D4 Mini-ITX Motherboard Details Revealed

Official pictures of ASUS' upcoming Prime N100I-D D4 Mini-ITX motherboard have been posted on Fanlesstech, although the board was reportedly shown at Computex. The Prime branding suggests that this will be a retail product, rather than something only available to OEM partners. The Intel Processor N100 is a quad-core 3.4 GHz chip based on Intel's Alder Lake-N, with a 6 W TDP, making it passively cooled.

While the SoC supports DDR4 and DDR5 memory, ASUS opted for DDR4 support in the form of a single SO-DIMM slot that accepts up to 3200 MHz memory. The board also features a single PCIe 3.0 x2 M.2 slot, an M.2 slot for an optional WiFi module, a PCIe 3.0 x1 slot, a single SATA connector, and a USB 3.0 header. Interestingly, the SoC supports a total of nine PCIe lanes, but ASUS only appears to have made use of four of them.

At the back of the board, there are a pair of 10 Gbps USB Type-A ports, a pair of 5 Gbps USB Type-A ports, and two USB 2.0 ports, a PS/2 port, a serial port, a D-Sub VGA connector, a DisplayPort, and an HDMI port of unknown version. However, the SoC supports DP 1.4 and HDMI 2.1. Additionally, there is a Gigabit Ethernet jack and three audio jacks.
