ASUS launches feature-rich Braswell motherboards




That is one cool looking CPU cooler. ASUS is getting serious with Braswell with two mATX motherboards featuring nothing but the best in quality and tools. The N3050M-E is powered by a dual-core Celeron N3050 (@1.6GHz up to 2.16GHz) while the N3150M-E rocks a quad-core Celeron N3150 (@1.6GHz up to 2.08GHz. The raw CPU performance should be marginally better than Bay Trail, but the iGPU goes from 4 Execution Units to 12. The N3050M-E and N3150M-E retail for 75 euros and 85 euros respectively.
