Gigabyte Unveils the C1007UN-D Mini-ITX Motherboard
The mini-ITX motherboard is intended for entry-level desktops.
Gigabyte's C1007UN-D mini-ITX motherboard is based on Intel's NM70 chipset and comes with an Intel Celereon 1007U BGA processor hard-wired to the board with a pre-installed heatsink. The dual-core Celeron 1007U is a 22 nm Ivy Bridge processor that is clocked at 1.50 GHz and has a 2 MB L3 cache and a 17 W TDP.
The motherboard features two DIMMs with support for up to 16 GB of DDR3 RAM, two Gigabit ethernet ports, a SATA 6 GB/s and two SATA 3 GB/s internal ports, one eSATA 3 GB/s port and a legacy PCI slot. Outputs include 6 channel audio, D-Sub (VGA), HDMI, six USB 2.0 ports, an RS232 COM port, LPT and a PS/2 port.
Gigabyte has yet to provide any pricing information, but considering that a Celeron 1007U costs $90, it won't be too spendy.

rebel1280 im still waiting for an inexpensive ITX board that has this CPU placement for wider CPU cooler adaptability. The only one (that ive seen) available is the freaking $200 ASUS board. :(Reply -
joytech22 If I didn't already have an ASUS E45M1-I DELUXE I'd buy this.Reply
But the E-450 is serving its purpose just fine. :D -
larkspur rebel1280im still waiting for an inexpensive ITX board that has this CPU placement for wider CPU cooler adaptability. The only one (that ive seen) available is the freaking $200 ASUS board.The $200 Asus P8Z77-I Deluxe is worth the money if you are going to OC. Presently, no other mini-ITX board provides the overclock stability and longevity that a serious OCer would want. The VRM heatsinks and vertical positioning of the daughter-board VRM allows you to use the larger horizontal-blowing coolers instead of being stuck using the downward-blowing coolers (which would otherwise be necessary to keep the VRM cool on other OCed mini-ITX boards). Cheap board + OC = Problems (sooner or later and especially on mini-ITX).Reply -
ceh4702 So how powerful is a celeron 1.1ghz processor on this motherboard? Is it faster than the Intel Atom DN2800MT? Show us a benchmark? Will it work with video? Does it play Flash Video? I dont think it is fast enough for HDMI for a DVR.Reply
I am just curious because my last Celeron was a 1.2 gig Celeron base off the PIII Core.
