Colorful Displays Motherboard With GeForce GTX 1070 On-Board GPU and LGA 1151 Socket With B150 Chipset - Concept Design For SFF PCs

At this yr's Computex, Colorful showed off a concept motherboard design that features an on-board GeForce GTX 1070 GPU along with a LGA 1151 socket. The motherboard is small notwithstanding powerful considering that it packs a adjacent-generation Pascal GPU on-board its PCB, offering users tons of performance without the demand to upgrade a graphics component. But the question pops up in our mind, will this lath ever striking retail?

Colorful's Concept Motherboard Features Total GeForce GTX 1070 GPU and LGA 1151 Socket On The Same PCB

The specifications of Colorful'due south B150-GP104 motherboard are straight forward. We are looking at a form factor that is very shut to the Flex ATX standard. The motherboard is specifically designed for custom cases as we tin see a lot of ports on the forepart and side of the PCB. The B150 motherboard equally the name suggests features the B150 chipset which means that we are looking at Skylake CPU support. Unlike other boards that come up in similar designs, we are looking at a full LGA 1151 CPU socket that comes with a vi+2 Phase PWM.

The Colorful Concept motherboard will feature the same GTX 1070 class performance as the desktop variant.

The motherboard has 2 DDR3L slots which tin support a capacity up to 32 GB (16 GB per slot). The I/O ports include several USB ii.0, USB 3.0 ports. An HDMI connector, PS/2 port, Display Port connector and a 2-Channel Sound jack.The motherboard has a single SATA connector along with several fan headers. In that location are also dual M SATA ports.The weird thing near this board is that nosotros couldn't spot whatever CMOS battery or power connectors. It is possible that those are situated on the other side of the board or it's only that this motherboard isn't finished yet.

Now that we are done with the CPU side, the GPU side is powered by an on-lath GeForce GTX 1070 graphics chip. We are looking the kickoff instance of the GP104 GPU that has not been configured on a graphics board simply on the same PCB for a different PC component. This could be our offset look at the upcoming mobility solution of the GP104 based graphics card. Nevertheless, the PCB has definitely been toned down compared to the other desktop variant.

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 has 3 GPC that characteristic 1920 CUDA Cores.

We are looking at a iv+one Phase PWM supply along with the very aforementioned GP104-200-A1 GPU that is found on the GeForce GTX 1070 desktop graphics card. Information technology comes with 8 GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at viii GB per second to deliver 256 GB/s bandwidth. Clock speeds might get toned down but knowing that NVIDIA is making sure to have these cards perform only like their desktop parts, they can also remain the same.

Now the question is whether we will ever see this on retail or not? Back at Computex 2022, ASUS showed a similar concept motherboard. They chosen it the ASUS X79 Zeus which featured the LGA 2022 socket, insane power delivery arrangement and just like the B150-GP104, an on-lath GPU solution but non just any GPU solution. The motherboard was equipped with dual HD 7970s on the same PCB. This motherboard had insane power requirements. Bated from the CPU delivery which was 8-Pin for the socket and 24-Pin ATX for the lath, the GPUs required 2 8+half dozen Pivot configurations. The motherboard never hit retail but that is possible due to the much insane requirements featured on this product which would had led to a shockingly high price.

The Colorful B150-GP104 can be a solution that could come up between the $450 to $500 U.s.a. subclass. There are several reasons this motherboard can actually striking the retail market only nosotros volition wait to run into for farther details about this component.
