The improved graphics in the new Intel Core i3/i5/i7 includes Intel HD Graphics 4000, support for DirectX 11 and OpenGL 3.1. The pin-out type 6 is adapted to embedded applications requiring increased graphics performance and allows support for three independent displays in any combination of VGA, LVDS and DDI (HDMI, DVI, and DisplayPort) directly from the module. Intel Quick Sync 2.0 improves the abilities for video transcoding. H6818 targets graphics intense applications like Medical Imaging, 3D radar and navigation in Offshore/Marine and Gaming/Infotainment. Performance orientated applications within Datacom/Telecom, Defence, Simulation and Industrial Automation will benefit from the improved computing performance of H6818.
H6818 has extensive I/O capabilities based on features in the Mobile Intel QM77 Express chipset. USB 3.0 increases data transfer speeds to and from the system. H6818 provides 4 USB 3.0/2.0, 4 USB 2.0, 2 SATA 3.0 ports with speed up to 6Gb/s, 2 SATA 2.0 ports with up to 3Gb/s, 1 SMBus, 1 I2C, and 4-bit input and 4-bit output GPIO for device controls. Additional expansion possibilities are 1 PCIe x16 slot, for instance for a video capture card or a high-end graphics card, and 1 PCIe x4 and 3 PCIe x1 or 7 PCIe x1 slot.
