DFI has introduced a new single-board computer model, the RPP051, based on Intel’s Raptor Lake-U (13th Gen Core) platform. This device is designed for edge computing and IoT applications, capable of operating in a wide temperature range from -30 to +80 °C.
The RPP051 is built in a Pico-ITX form factor with dimensions of 100 × 72 mm. It can be configured with various processors: U300E (1P + 4E; 6 threads; up to 4.3 GHz), Core i3-1315UE (2P + 4E; 8 threads; up to 4.5 GHz), Core i5-1345UE (2P + 8E; 12 threads; up to 4.6 GHz), or Core i7-1365UE (2P + 8E; 12 threads; up to 4.9 GHz). The board includes a single SO-DIMM slot for DDR5-4800 memory, supporting up to 32 GB.
The RPP051 features M.2 connectors including B key 3042/2242 (PCIe x2/USB 2.0/SATA 3.0) for SSDs, E key 2230 (PCIe x1/USB 2.0) for Wi-Fi/Bluetooth adapters, and B key 3042/2242 (PCIe x1/USB 3.2 Gen1/SATA 3.0) for 4G/5G modems with a Nano SIM card slot. It also includes an Intel I226IT/LM network controller supporting 2.5GbE and a Realtek ALC888S-VD2-GR audio codec.
Additional I/O options include two USB 3.2 Gen2 ports, a DP++ connector (up to 4096 × 2304 at 60 Hz), and an RJ-45 port for Ethernet. The board also supports two USB 2.0 ports, a serial port RS-232/422/485, and an eDP interface.
Power is supplied via a 2-pin connector. The single-board computer is compatible with Windows 10 IoT Enterprise, Windows 11, and Linux. Pricing starts at $620 for the Core i3-1315UE version, $891 for the Core i5-1345UE version, and $1128 for the Core i7-1365UE version.
Previously, we reported on a super-compact PC Raspberry Pi Pico 2 for 5$ , but that version could handle only very basic tasks, the power of DFI’s solution might be sufficient for a much larger number of users!
