ASRock's Braswell lineup detailed




ASRock launches an all-out Braswell offensive with several models:

N3700M, mATX, one PCIe 2.0 x16, two PCIe 2.0 x1, HDMI/DVI/VGA
N3150M, mATX, one PCIe 2.0 x16, two PCIe 2.0 x1, HDMI/DVI/VGA
N3050M, mATX, one PCIe 2.0 x16, two PCIe 2.0 x1, HDMI/DVI/VGA
N3700-ITX, Mini-ITX, one PCIe 2.0 x1, one mini-PCIe, HDMI/DVI/DP
N3150-ITX, Mini-ITX, one PCIe 2.0 x1, one mini-PCIe, HDMI/DVI/DP
N3150B-ITX, Mini-ITX, one PCIe 2.0 x1, legacy / COM ports
N3050B-ITX, Mini-ITX, one PCIe 2.0 x1, legacy / COM ports

Interestingly, ASRock is ditching the Celeron brand for a laconic "processor" and who could blame them? The Celeron branding is not only played out, it's also misleading since Core-based Celerons exist. Also on the plus side, the passive heat sink retains its size so great temperatures are expected for these 6W CPUs.
