Advantech says the ARK-6320-6M01E uses Intel's dual-core, 1.66GHz Atom D510, paired with the ICH8M I/O controller, and is built around a previously released Mini-ITX motherboard. No further background on the latter is specified, but we suspect the board might well be the AIMB-212 announced in January and covered by us at the time.
