The market availability of these solutions will occur at the end of the year, with sales by Intel’s main OEM partners in the field of desktop and mobile proposals. It is about solutions for the entry level segment of the mobile workstation marketwhich favor compact dimensions and low consumption: it should be noted that for the two desktop versions the presence of an external power connector is not required but what is provided by the PCI Express slot of the motherboard is sufficient.
