The iBASE IB961 from FORTEC Integrated (previously known as Distec) is a 3.5-inch Single Board Computer (SBC) built around 13th Gen Intel Core processors. The board can support up to 32GB of DDR5-5200 non-ECC memory via 1x SO-DIMM socket and features dual DisplayPort (1.2), eDP, and LVDS interfaces along with dual 2.5GbE Ethernet for connectivity. Additionally, the SBC also includes 3x M.2 slots (M-Key, E-Key, B-Key) for expanded storage and 5G cellular communication. These features make the device useful for applications like automation, edge computing, transportation, digital signage, and kiosks/ATMs.
iBASE is well known for its SBCs and mini PCs and previously we have written about their products including the IBASE ISR500 fanless Edge AI computer, the IBASE 3.5-inch SBC with AMD Ryzen Embedded V2000 processor, the IBASE IBR215 Pico-ITX SBC. Additionally, we have written about similar SBCs and Mini PCs with 13th-gen Raptor Lake SoC including the GEEKOM GT13 Pro, the Cincoze DV-1100, the LattePanda Sigma SBC, and many more. You can also check those out if you are looking for similar products.

This is Raptor Lake (4 MB L3 cache per E-core cluster according to Wikipedia), but based on mobile dies so it shouldn’t be susceptible to the microcode fiasco.
I think this is what I would like to rest now
