96MPI3S-3.7-3M11T

Overview

The Advantech 96MPI3S-3.7-3M11T is an embedded desktop processor based on the Intel Core i3-6100 (Skylake) architecture. It features a dual-core, dual-thread configuration with a base clock frequency of 3.7 GHz and 3 MB of L3 cache. The component utilizes the FCLGA-1151 package for surface-mount installation and supports DDR4 memory channels. Designed for industrial environments, it operates within a wide temperature range up to +100°C and maintains a thermal design power of 65W.

Feature Summary

• Embedded Skylake-based processing core optimized for industrial reliability
• Surface-mount LGA1151 packaging for compact system integration
• Wide operating temperature capability for harsh environment deployment

Applications

• Industrial automation control systems
• Embedded computing platforms
• Machine automation interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision and RoHS compliance status directly with Advantech before procurement. Confirm that the FCLGA-1151 footprint matches your PCB design constraints. Ensure thermal management solutions are adequate for the 65W TDP in enclosed industrial enclosures. Validate compatibility with your target DDR4 memory specifications and BIOS requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high-frequency single-core performance boost is required over standard mobile variants. The fixed 3.7 GHz clock speed suits deterministic real-time applications. Consider the LGA1151 socket compatibility if upgrading legacy embedded designs. Evaluate the thermal dissipation needs carefully due to the higher clock speed compared to lower-tier i3 models.

Part Context

This part belongs to Advantech's specialized embedded processor portfolio, which adapts standard Intel silicon for rugged industrial use. Unlike consumer CPUs, these units undergo rigorous testing for longevity and environmental stability. The numbering convention typically reflects the core type, clock speed, cache size, and socket variant.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Advantech SKUs using the Intel Core i3-6100 or compatible Skylake processors with identical LGA1151 footprints. Verify pinout and electrical characteristics match exactly. Cross-referencing with generic Intel i3-6100 parts requires careful validation of industrial temperature ratings and mounting styles.
