Overview
The MAX-Q470A industrial microATX motherboard brings the performance of 10th Generation Intel® Core™ processors (formerly Comet Lake) to embedded computing platforms. With up to 128GB of RAM (4 x 32GB DDR4), the MAX-Q470 delivers the power and speed needed to drive even the most intensive applications, from workstations to edge AI systems and even cryptocurrency mining. The board also offers two PCIe 3.0 [x16] slots and two PCIe 3.0 [4x] slots to easily add on GPUs, AI accelerators, frame grabbers, and more. Other expansion options include M.2 2280 PCIe [x4] with support for NVMe, as well as M.2 2252 and SIM card slot for 5G deployment. The MAX-Q470A also offers easy maintenance features including a BIOS recover button on the rear I/O panel, and vertical USB3.2 Gen 1 Type A port on the board for greater data security.
