Analogix and ICE Computer partner on ultraportable pocket PCs with SlimPort interface

ICE Computer and Analogix Semiconductor are announcing ICE's xPC series of smartphone-sized, modular pocket PCs featuring a built-in SlimPort interface solution from Analogix Semiconductor during this week's 2014 Computex show in Taipei, Taiwan.

The ultraportable xPC computer platform offers two versions, both of them using the Analogix SlimPort transmitter IC ANX7808: xPC PRO based on Intel Haswell/ Broadwell and xPC based on Intel Bay Trail platform.

"Today's consumers are expecting smaller, cost-effective and more flexible computer platforms, as they are managing more and more content on the go," said Scott Ma of ICE Computer. "Our xPC is compatible with the majority of displays, meaning that users can choose the best display for the best experience on any given project, as well as using already-owned display devices to share their content, thanks to their built-in SlimPort capabilities."

"We're proud to be part of this dynamic personal computing experience," said Andre Bouwer, vice president of marketing for Analogix. "ICE's xPC pocket PC with its SlimPort display connectivity allows users to attain new levels of mobility without giving up any of the performance they are used to."

Analogix Semiconductor is the leading supplier of DisplayPort-compliant semiconductors and IP products used in notebooks, tablets and other mobile devices. The DisplayPort standard is an innovative, packetised digital interface for high-resolution video and audio that was developed by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA).
