It uses one out of three Celeron/Pentium System-on-Chip devices

Bay Trail, also known as Silvermont, is the CPU architecture acting as the basis for certain Intel Celeron and Pentium CPUs/SoCs. ECS has just launched a motherboard line made for these chips.

Called BAT-I, it is made of three boards, featuring Intel Pentium J2850, Intel Celeron J1850 and Intel Celeron J1750, respectively.

All of them have electrostatic discharge protection (ESD) and 100% solid capacitors, for maximum longevity and reliability.

Other than that, you'll find two 3 Gbps SATA ports, one PCI Express x1 slot, two serial port headers (COM), HDIM, VGA (1080p streaming support through them both) and BIOS with live update support.

Finally, no active cooling is used. The Bay Trail (Bay Trail-D to be precise) have a low enough TDP for that.

Regrettably, ECS did not say what prices the new BT-I mainboards had.
