The Intel D945GCLF is the first ATOM powered mini-ITX board to hit the market and is bound to be an instant success based on the performance from the low-power CPU coupled with Intel's aggressive pricing.

The ATOM 1.6GHz CPU is rated at 4W TDP, but due to the power requirements of the 945GC chipset, the board as a whole will use between 20~34W of power dependent on how hard you are working it.

Benchmarks have shown that with hyperthreading disabled, the Atom is very similar to the VIA C7 in processing ability. With hyperthreading enabled, the Atom is twice as good. The 1.6GHz HyperThread Atom core achieved 2.8 total folding points per hour (pph) using a bootable folding benchmark CD, whilst the VIA C7 achieved 1.16pph.

Our cusomers have also reported that this ATOM motherboard running Ubuntu Hardy Server and Desktop works perfectly.

Due to the height of the Heatsink/Fan cooler on this board, it does not fit into all the mini-ITX cases. If you require an ATOM board that does fit into the smaller mini-ITX cases, you can use the Jetway JNC91-230-LF mainboard.
