ZOTAC has today released A75-ITX WiFi motherboard. Like the name suggests, this motherboard is based on AMD's A75 chipset and comes in Mini-ITX form factor. Don't let the size fool you though, A75-ITX has an impressive list of features when compared to its size.
| ZOTAC A75-ITX WiFi | |
| Chipset | AMD A75 |
| Socket | FM1 |
| Memory Slots | 2x DDR3 DIMM |
| Max Memory | 8GB |
| Memory Speed | Up to 1866MHz |
| PCIe | One x16 slot |
| SATA | 4x SATA 6Gb/s |
| USB | 8x USB 3.0, 2x USB 2.0 |
| Networking | Dual Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11n WiFi, Bluetooth 3.0 |
| Video Outputs | DVI, HDMI, VGA |
When you look at the specs, it doesn't lose much to its bigger brothers. The best CPU you can install at the moment is A8-3850 (our review), which is definitely not bad. There is also a full speed PCIe x16 slot (most likely PCIe 2.0), meaning that a high-speed GPU isn't an issue. On top of that, there are eight USB 3.0 ports. The A75 chipset provides only four USB 3.0 ports, which suggests that there is a discrete USB 3.0 controller providing the extra four.
ZOTAC isn't alone in the A75 mini-ITX market though, at least AsRock has a similar motherboard as well. We reviewed ZOTAC's Z68ITX-A-E WiFi very recently, so that might offer some early thoughts on what to expect from A75-ITX. The suggested retail price is $149 and it will be available next week.
