It gets its name from the Celeron J1800 System-on-Chip

It seems like motherboard makers want to confuse the living lights out of us this week, since their latest mini-ITX motherboards are all named the same.

Biostar has released the (still not priced for the moment) J1800NH mainboard, which sounds almost exactly the same as the Gigabyte J1800N-D2H.

It's all because of the central processing unit (CPU) they're made for: the Intel Celeron J1800. Well, not so much CPU as SoC (system-on-chip).

The J1800 is a dual-core unit with 2.4 GHz base clock and 2.53 GHz Turbo Boost clock.

A PCI Express 2.0 x1 slot is available on the motherboard, along with one DDR3 SO-DIMM slot, a pair of SATA 3.0 Gbps ports, USB 3.0, four USB 2.0 ports, D-Sub and HDMI video outputs, and HD audio. Gigabit Ethernet is included as well.
