AAEON has launched the MIX-MTLD1, a new Mini-ITX industrial motherboard powered by Intel Core Ultra processors, designed to balance performance and energy efficiency. The board supports both H-series and U-series processors, with TDP options of 15W for U-series and 28W for H-series, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial and embedded applications.
Before proceeding further, you must learn about other Intel Core Ultra-based boards, including the On Logic Karbon 521, the Jetway MTX-ARH1, GigaIPC SBCs, and more. After you go through these boards, you will have a basic idea about this processor, including what it is, where it is used, and all its major features.
Overview:
The MIX-MTLD1 supports dual-channel DDR5 memory up to 96GB, offering higher bandwidth and efficiency for demanding workloads. Integrated Intel Arc Graphics handles graphics, supporting up to four 4K displays via HDMI 2.0. An LVDS/eDP interface is also available, giving flexibility for display integration in industrial systems.
Expansion options include three M.2 slots: an M-Key (PCIe Gen 4 [x4]) for NVMe storage, a B-Key with Nano SIM socket for cellular connectivity, and an E-Key for Wi-Fi or other modules. There’s also a PCIe Gen 5 [x8] slot (available on H-series versions) for additional expansion. For connectivity, the motherboard offers dual LAN with Intel I210-AT and I226-V controllers, providing 1GbE and 2.5GbE support. Other I/O includes USB 3.2 Gen 2, USB Type-C, multiple USB 2.0 ports, audio jacks, and RS-232/422/485 serial connections.
The board operates on 12V DC-in power with a peak consumption of 150W and is certified for use in environments ranging from 0°C to 60°C. Supported operating systems include Windows 10, Windows 11, and Ubuntu 24.04 with Linux kernel 6.8.
Price & Availability:
As of now, the AAEON MIX-MTLD1 Mini-ITX industrial motherboard is available through multiple channels. AAEON’s official eShop lists it at $700.00, and the stock shows only 15 units remaining. The price includes the board, an I/O shield, a SATA cable, and a SATA power cable. For European customers, Texim Europe has the MIX-MTLD1 A10-125HLV SKU priced at around €620.27 per unit, with a minimum order quantity of one and an estimated lead time of four to eight weeks. This means the board is immediately available in the U.S. but may require additional waiting time for orders placed through European distributors.
