M.2, Apollo Lake and mini PCs at the workplace"},"content":{"rendered":"<h2>Green IT: Federal Environment Agency recommends mini PCs<\/h2>\n<p>The Federal Environment Agency has presented a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.umweltbundesamt.de\/sites\/default\/files\/medien\/1968\/publikationen\/position_paradigmenwechsel_in_der_green-it_notwendig_0.pdf\" data-htmlarea-external=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">6-point plan<\/a> for the environmentally conscious and resource-saving use of computers in the workplace. A key component is the recommendation to equip purely stationary workstations with mini PCs. These are characterized by lower electricity consumption and therefore also have a better greenhouse gas balance. In addition, the service life is much longer than that of laptops. Long-term availability makes it easier to install and set up the systems, as the same platform can be used for years.<\/p>\n<h2>Current Atom chips: Apollo Lake<\/h2>\n<p>Following the news about the high-end processors of the Kaby Lake generation, Intel has now also introduced more cost-effective models, which are also manufactured using the 14nm process. Celeron and Pentium processors with two or four Goldmont CPU cores and a TDP of 10 watts are referred to internally as Apollo Lake. They are considerably faster than their predecessors and are suitable for use in mini PCs. The first spo-comm models with the&nbsp; new Atom technology are planned for 2017.<\/p>\n<h2>Even smaller and even faster: M.2 SSDs<\/h2>\n<p>Solid state disks in M.2 format are also increasingly being used in the embedded and industrial PC sector. One advantage over the standard SSDs in 2.5&#8243; format is the much smaller design. Furthermore, the integrated SATA 3 port ensures faster transfer rates than previous card formats. M.2 SSDs will also be part of some spo-comm PCs from 2017.<\/p>\n<h2>Windows 10 IoT: New license areas<\/h2>\n<p>Microsoft has now provided specific details regarding the licenses for Windows 10 IoT. The former Windows Enterprise area is now divided into three licenses: Entry, Value and High-End. These depend on the hardware used.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/service\/services\/windows-iot\/\" class=\"button\">More about Windows IoT<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our news in October: Intel has introduced new Atom chips, SSDs are increasingly available in M.2 format and the Federal Administration recommends the use of mini PCs as workplace computers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4911,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7976","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-know-how"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spo-comm.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7976","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spo-comm.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spo-comm.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spo-comm.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spo-comm.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7976"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/spo-comm.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7976\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17156,"href":"https:\/\/spo-comm.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7976\/revisions\/17156"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spo-comm.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4911"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spo-comm.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7976"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spo-comm.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7976"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spo-comm.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7976"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
