The ADS630 is part of DFI’s new ADS series of embedded solutions built around the 12th Gen Intel Core SoC processors. This board comes in an ATX form factor supporting up to 128GB UDIMM RAM, four SATA 3.0 devices and runs on Win10 and Linux.

The ADS630 is enabled to accommodate the R680E or the Q670E chipsets from Intel. The ADS630 supports several 12Gen Intel processors which are shown in the image below for reference.

The quad-display interface is achieved through two DP++ ports, one VGA and one HDMI port. The VGA offers a max resolution of 1920×1200 @60Hz while the other two ports provide a max resolution of 4096×2160 @24Hz. 

Some of the I/O peripherals consist of two Intel 10GbE, two Intel 2.5GbE, six USB 3.2 Gen2, four USB 3.2 Gen1 and three USB 2.0. 

According to DFI, the new ADS Series has support for Deep Learning Boost and Vector Neural Network Instruction Set (VNNI). In the past, these two features were only available for Xeon processors. Furthermore, there is also support for Intel’s Movidius VPUs AI accelerator for additional deep learning capabilities.
