Avalue Technology has launched the EAX-R680BP ATX industrial motherboard featuring Intel Core Series 2 processor support. The platform offers flexible dual PCIe Gen 5 expansion with configurations supporting either 1× PCIe Gen 5 x16 or 2× PCIe Gen 5 x8 slots. This design enables simultaneous operation of multiple GPUs or high-performance expansion cards for AI inference and edge computing applications.

Built around an ATX form factor, the motherboard provides 192GB DDR5 memory capacity through four U-DIMM slots and integrates NVMe/SATA RAID storage architectures. The PCIe Gen 5 high-speed channel design delivers the bandwidth needed for next-generation AI workloads and data-intensive storage applications. Six PCIe expansion slots and 14 USB interfaces enhance system deployment flexibility for enterprise and industrial environments.

Industrial connectivity includes RS-232 and switchable RS-232/422/485 serial ports for direct integration with PLCs, sensors, and existing equipment. The platform supports Intel 12th, 13th, and 14th Gen Core processors alongside the latest Intel Core Series 2, allowing sequential upgrades within existing system architectures. This multi-generation compatibility helps businesses control total cost of ownership while maintaining consistent hardware architecture and long-term availability for AI, compact servers, and industrial applications requiring high expansion flexibility.
