IBASE IB839 3.5-inch SBC features Intel Atom x7211RE, Atom x7433RE, or Processor N97 CPU

IBASE Technology IB839 is a 3.5-inch single board computer (SBC) powered by Intel Atom x7211RE or x7433RE Amston Lake processors for industrial temperature range or Processor N97 Alder Lake-N processor for commercial temperature range, and designed for edge computing, IoT, and automation systems.

The IB839 supports up to 16GB DDR5-4800 SO-DIMM memory, offers three display interfaces via two DisplayPort (DP++) and eDP or LVDS, dual 2.5GbE, SATA III storage, four COM ports, up to six USB interfaces, and can be expanded through M.2 sockets (M-key, E-key, and B-key) for SSDs, WiFi, and WWAN modules.

IBASE mentions several variants:

B839F-7433RE and IB839F-7211RE with Atom x7000RE processors and LVDS support
IB839F-N97 with Processor N97 CPU and LVDS support.
IB839FE-N97 and IB839FE-N97R both with Processor N97 and eDP support (instead of LVDS) and the N97R variant features a right-angle PWR connector for easier deployment.

Two fanless cooling options are available: a heatsink and a heat spreader. The product page does not list supported operating systems, and only the Windows operating system is briefly mentioned in the user manual. There’s also an “IB839 Driver DVD” (3.3GB download!) on the product page.

It’s not quite the first 3.5-inch SBC based on Intel Amston Lake processors, and we covered the ASROCK’s SBC-262M-WT (Atom x7433RE), ASUS’ X7433RE-IM-A, and AAEON’s GENE-ASL6 (x7213RE, x7433RE, or x7835RE) each with their own specific features. The IB839 is the first 3.5-inch SBC we’ve seen with an Intel Atom x7211RE SoC, but the dual-core processors is found in SBCs with other form factors in products like Portwell’s NANO-6064-ASL (Nano-ITX) or Kontron’s 2.5”-SBC-AML/ADN (Pico-ITX).

IBASE did not provide availability and pricing information for the IB839, but you’ll find more details may be found on the product page and in the press release. Note that one distributor (Fortec Integrated) has the IB839 listed on their website, but the specifications are a bit different…
