Portwell Launches WUX-7x00U: Compact Embedded Board Powered by Intel Core i5/i3 for High‑Performance IoT and Industrial Applications

Portwell, a leader in embedded solutions, introduces the WUX-7x00U – a 101.6 mm × 101.6 mm board that packs the power of Intel Core i5‑7300U and i3‑7100U processors into a NUC‑sized footprint. The dual‑core chips run on Intel Gen. 9.5 HD Graphics 620, featuring a 24‑unit graphics engine that delivers sharp 3‑D visuals and fast 4K encoding and decoding for demanding multimedia workloads.

Designed for low‑power environments, the WUX-7x00U consumes only 15 W of TDP. A low‑profile fan ensures reliable cooling over extended operation, while a flexible 12 V–19 V power input accommodates a variety of industrial power supplies. The board supports up to 32 GB of DDR4L SDRAM at 2133 MHz, giving ample memory headroom for complex applications.

Storage options include one SATA III port and one M.2 Key M slot for high‑speed SSDs. Connectivity is enhanced with three USB 3.0 ports, one USB 3.0 Type‑C, and an M.2 Key E slot that provides integrated Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth – essential for IoT gateways and remote monitoring.

Display capabilities are robust: a single DisplayPort supports up to 4096×2160 resolution, while two HDMI outputs can reach 4096×2304 each, and all can run simultaneously. This makes the WUX-7x00U ideal for digital signage, video analytics, and high‑definition video streaming.

Portwell’s thoughtful design and the multi‑core Intel processing power equip the WUX-7x00U to handle a wide range of applications – from medical equipment and industrial automation to warehouse logistics, manufacturing robots, and end‑to‑end IoT solutions.
