iPC-Fanless Series Launch Overview

VP Product Management
iPC-Fanless Series Summary
The iPC-Series Embedded High Performance Industrial PCs replaced the very
successful ePC-Series a little over one year ago. However, the ePC Fanless
with ATOM N270 had not been updated until now. Fanless and Solid State
Drives have become popular options providing high reliability and lower
typical power usage. Although a solid CPU performer in most industrial
cases, the single core ATOM N270 has proven to be underpowered for more
robust Windows 7-based applications. In order to address this issue,
Nematron added a new Fanless Dual Core ATOM N2800 processor option
to the iPC-Series. This new ATOM N2800 CPU offers over twice the
PassMark® performance scores than the previous generation ATOM N270.
The new iPC Fanless also takes advantage of the many improvements and
enhancements previously noted in Nematron’s ePC-to-iPC continuous
improvement strategy. With four sizes to choose from (12”, 15”, 17”, & 19”)
and a display-less node version, these ultra-thin industrial PCs can be used
in many different applications, even Class I Division 2 Hazardous Locations.
The iPC Fanless continues Nematron’s mission of supplying superior quality,
state-of-the-art Industrial PCs that are built and supported in the USA.

ePC and iPC Product Direction
iPC-Fanless to replace ePC-Fanless
• iPC-Fanless w/ N2800 CPU is the same cost as current ePC-Fanless w/ N270 …
… BUT with superior performance!
-
-
•
At the end of 2013, the ePC w/ N270 will have been shipping for over 5 years
-
•
Passmark Scores: 671 vs. 304
- Former base ePC-Series w/ CM440 was 438
- Current base ePC-Plus w/ MC550 is 547
80 GB SSD standard on iPC-Fanless vs. 40 GB on ePC-Fanless
Verifies Nematron’s 5-year product life cycle commitment
On January 1, 2014, the ePC w/ N270 will raise $200.00 list price and transition to
“Legacy” status
-
Reduced distributor discount
Last Time Buy will be issued later in 2014 for the ePC-Fanless
• Actual date will be based on run rate and iPC conversion success rate
•
Begin transition of current customers as soon as possible.
•
Enclosed ePC units with N270 will not be transitioned to iPC units with N2800
-
Main reason is lack of sales history
Enclosed ePC with N270 will remain available until last time buy is issued in 2014
