MSI has today introduced a new Mini-ITX embedded board for high-density processing and graphic application markets. The MS-98C7 features great processing and graphic power and also supports sufficient memory capacity up to 16GB to ensure smooth outputs with efficiency, even when tough tasks are required. The MS-98C7 features the Intel 4th Generation 8 series chipset platform, whose CPU performance is rated to be 5 to 15% higher and graphic performance 30% higher than the 3rd generation platform.

Armed with the great processing and graphic power, the MS-98C7 also supports Plus its 3 or 2 independent displays with output interfaces of VGA, LVDS, and DP, the MS-98C7 delivers an excellent solution for industrial scenes with intensive display requirements, such as digital signage, onboard MOD, gaming, and more.

Two scalable SKU fulfill your cost-effective or high-end demands

MS-98C7 comes with 2 different SKU to satisfy different application requirements. Both the cost-effective H81 and high-end Q87 offer scalable CPU options. Users can freely choose the features needed to fulfill diverse demands.

Rich I/O with flexible configuration means

Aiming at industrial applications with diverse peripheral devices in fields, the MS-98C7 is designed with 10 or 8 USB ports, 5 COM ports (with 4 powered), and 8 GPIO for multiple connections. To facilitate the configuration of I/O according to different scenes, the MS-98C7 allows users to define the I/O via BIOS, giving more flexibility for industrial applications.

Versatile networking media with more application possibilities

With increasing applications of digital signage, gaming, and especially the MOD fields that require networking environment, MS-98C7 provides dual Gigabit LAN, mSATA for 3G or WiFi, and Bluetooth, offering versatile means of communications, and at the same time leaving more room for application possibilities.
