Small form factors are widely used for market segments such as industrial applications, consumer products, point of sales/information terminals, medical devices, communications, transportation, education terminals, traffic control and many more. The continuing use of small form factors has brought opportunities to implement Intel?s high performance microprocessors and chipsets into embedded computer applications and build a thermal solution to effectively cool the board. This paper provides considerations on implementing Intel processors and chipsets into small form factors with thermal solutions.
