1. Introduction
The Express-IB is a COM Express® COM.0 R2.1 Type 6 module supporting the 64-bit 3rd Generation Intel® Core™ i7/i5/3 and Celeron®
processor with CPU, memory controller, and graphics processor on the same chip. Based on the latest Mobile Intel® QM77 Express chipset,
the Express-IB is specifically designed for customers who need high-level processing and graphics performance in a long product life
solution.
The Express-IB features the Intel® Core™ i7/i5/i3 processor supporting Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (up to 4 cores, 8 threads) and
DDR3 dual-channel memory at 1066/1333/1600 MHz to provide excellent overall performance. Intel® Flexible Display Interface and Direct
Media Interface provide high speed connectivity to the Intel® QM77 Express chipset.
