BCM's RX170Q Micro ATX motherboard supports the 7th generation 14nm Intel Core i7, i5, i3 and Celeron processors, code named Kaby Lake platform. These processors offer faster CPU performance and stunning graphics with optimized 4K capabilities and improved power efficiency over the 6th generation processors...
BCM, a leading supplier of industrial motherboards and an associate member of Intel® IoT Solutions Alliance, announces a running change on its Q170 and H110 series industrial motherboards to support the latest 7th generation (Kaby Lake) Intel® Core™ processors on its existing motherboard platforms including the MX170QD, MX110HD, MX110H mini-ITX and RX170Q and RX110H micro ATX boards. 7th generation Kaby Lake support will be in addition to the currently supported 6th generation (Skylake) processors. This running change enables these motherboards to support two generations of processors extending their mainstream lifecycles while taking advantage of the 7th generation Core performance and feature enhancements. For customers who are looking for smaller embedded computing platforms in Kaby Lake, BCM offers its ESM-KBLH Type 6 COM Express module and ECM-KBLH 3.5” Single Board Computers. These running changes will take place starting in Q2, 2017. For more information please contact your BCM representative or email us at BCMSales@bcmcom.com....
BCM Advanced Research, a leading designer and manufacturer of industrial motherboards and systems since 1990, and an Associate member of the Intel® Internet of Things Solutions Alliance, today launched five new industrial motherboards based on the latest 6th generation Intel® Core™ processor family (codename Skylake). The new BCM motherboards include RX170Q and RX110H (micro-ATX), MX170QD and MX110H mini-ITX, and the ESM-QM170 (COM Express module) offer dramatically higher CPU and stunning graphics performance, a wide range of power and feature scalability, and new advanced features that boost IoT designs from the edge to the cloud.

Pre-notice of a pending multi-product BIOS change that will be implemented approximately in Q2/2017. This change is being implemented to add support for the newest Kaby Lake CPUs on our current Skylake industrial motherboards.
BCM is committed to always providing the latest and most updated technology to our customers on any given product platform. Although we try to avoid major changes as much as possible once a product is launched, when a significant technology enhancement such as this one becomes available so close after the initial launch of a new product we are compelled to make it available for the benefit of all customers. The estimated release date for these new BIOS is late Q1/2017.
