Description
Coming soon: the ASRock Industrial Core Ultra 3 (Wildcat Lake) Mini-ITX Series, delivering next-generation Intel Core Ultra 3 performance for advanced industrial and edge computing applications.
The ASRock Industrial IMB-1253-WV is a high-performance Mini-ITX single board computer designed for industrial and embedded computing applications requiring advanced processing, reliable connectivity, and flexible expansion. Powered by Intel Core Ultra 3 Series processors based on the Wildcat Lake-U platform, this industrial motherboard delivers efficient computing performance for automation, edge AI, digital signage, and intelligent control systems. Supporting up to 64GB of DDR5 6400 MHz memory with In-Band ECC capability, the IMB-1253-WV provides fast and dependable system performance for demanding workloads. Its compact Mini-ITX form factor makes it suitable for space-constrained installations while still offering extensive connectivity and expansion options, including PCIe Gen4, M.2 Key E and Key M slots, SATA3, multiple USB interfaces, and six COM ports for industrial peripherals and legacy device integration.
The motherboard also features dual 2.5 Gigabit LAN ports for high-speed networking and supports triple independent displays through HDMI, DisplayPort, and LVDS/eDP outputs, making it ideal for HMI, surveillance, and visualisation applications. With both ATX power and wide-range 9V~28V DC input support, the IMB-1253-WV is built for deployment across a wide range of industrial environments. Optional Out-of-Band (OOB) functionality further enhances remote management and system maintenance capabilities.
