65W Intel Core Ultra 200S Series CPU Support
Supporting up to 65W Intel® Core™ Ultra 200S Series LGA 1851 socket-type processors, the MIX-Q870A1 offers up to 36 TOPs of AI performance, leveraging the Arrow Lake platform’s Xe LPG graphics architecture alongside an on-chip NPU with broad support for popular AI software frameworks including OpenVINO™, WindowsML, DirectML, and ONNX RT.

PCIe Gen 5 [x16] with Bifurcation
When it comes to expansion, limitations are a thing of the past. Boasting a 16-lane PCIe Gen 5 slot with a dedicated jumper for lane configuration, the MIX-Q870A1 provides modular functional expansion. This means that even when equipped with a GPU to bolster the AI acceleration offered by the Intel Core Ultra platform, the remaining lanes can be split to accommodate additional modules like NVMe SSDs, NICs, frame grabbers, or fieldbus interface cards.

Diverse Storage Architecture
The MIX-Q870A1’s M.2-1A 2280 M-Key offers a four-lane PCIe, ideal for NVMe or AI acceleration card support. Meanwhile, an M.2 2242 M-Key slot is also provided to grant users an additional SATA signal to boost storage capabilities alongside its two SATA 6Gb/s ports. As such, the board can manage diverse storage workloads, from high bandwidth NVMe to long-term, HDD-based stable data logging. Moreover, the MIX-Q870A1 comes with a dedicated Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (RST) driver, activating RAID 0, 1 functions for its SATA signal to reinforce the stability of on-system data.

Densely Populated Interface Selection
The MIX-Q870A1 grants four independent displays, with two HDMI 2.0 and two DP 1.4, as well as a 40-pin LVDS/eDP connector. Meanwhile, the board’s rear I/O offers eight USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports alongside both 2.5GbE and 1GbE LAN ports to grant extensive connectivity for peripheral devices and wired networking. Rounding this off is an 8-bit programmable internal digital I/O header and a USB header supporting two additional USB 3.2 Gen 1 interfaces.
