The Intel Compute Stick revolutionized the mini PC market through the introduction of x86 based processors making Windows available as an OS option. However, for Intel the biggest target market turned out to be business rather than consumer with digital signage being a key user. As a result Intel have responded with the introduction of the Intel Compute Card. So far they have released four versions of card: Click to Enlarge and they they differ from compute sticks by no longer being standalone mini PCs but dependent on a dock or host device. The card itself is relatively small with a footprint slightly larger than a standard credit card: Click to Enlarge and is distinguished by the back being printed with details about the card including the model: Click to Enlarge The lack of emphasis on the consumer market is also evident in the rather unobtrusive plain packaging: On the end that inserts into the dock or host device is a connector which is separated into two sections: a Type C-compliant portion and an extended portion. The Type C portion supports Type C-compliant connections including video with audio and USB.
The extended portion supports video with audio, USB, and PCIe. Power is supplied to the card from the device the Compute Card is plugged into using the Type C portion of the connector. The card uses bidirectional authentication to authenticate a compatible device and card. The authentication uses digital keys which are provisioned by default during manufacturing ensuring only correctly provisioned card and devices work together. As the card can get hot during heavy workloads it totally relies on the dock or host device for cooling. It is designed so that direct conductive contact with the card surfaces provide heat dissipation. This means the card is capable of operating within all critical component temperature specifications and will produce surface skin temperatures that may violate typical safety guidelines or requirements.
To stop the user being burnt when handling the card immediately after use requires the dock or host device to delay the card being ejected if additional cooling is needed to reduce the skin temperature to below 55 °C. Although the cards now targets OEMs, manufacturers, distributors and channel partners Intel have also released an allowing consumers to use a card as a mini PC.
The key specifications of the dock include: Click to Enlarge and it comes with a small power brick with international plug adapters together with a two meter/six foot long power cable and the dock can be used with any of the cards. Intel kindly provided a dock and three cards (CD1C64GK, CD1P64GK and CD1M3128MK) for review. After connecting the power cable, a monitor using the HDMI port, a wireless keyboard and mouse that connects through a USB dongle and an ethernet cable, the basic operation requires sliding the card into the dock followed by firmly pushing it in to ensure connectivity. The card can be removed by pressing the eject button which only works while power is connected. Then depending on the BIOS setting the card will either boot immediately or after the power button is pressed. As the cards do not come with an OS I first installed Microsoft’s Windows 10 Enterprise product evaluation ISO in order to run my standard set of benchmarking tools to look at performance under Windows:.
CD1C64GK Compute Card. The results show the improvement the newer SoCs have given the cards over the sticks: Click to Enlarge and shows comparable performance with devices using similar SoCs: Click to Enlarge The results for the Core m3 card are significantly better due to the internal storage being an NVME device rather than eMMC however the fan was noticeably audible when running some benchmarks. Interestingly the eMMC performance of the Celeron card was better than the Pentium card and this is attributed to a tolerance in manufacturing of the eMMC rather than a device characteristic and this difference is reflected in some of the benchmark scores. Next for each device I shrunk the Windows partition and created new a 10 GB partition so I could install and dual boot Ubuntu. I used a standard Ubuntu desktop ISO however whilst the installation completed successfully the Ubuntu NVRAM entry failed to be created correctly on the Core m3 card and needed to be fixed by manually using the ‘efibootmgr’ command.
For each card I ran some basic commands to look at the hardware in more detail:. CD1C64GK compute card.

I also noticed for the first time that one of the working HECV video was actually very slightly jerky in parts on the Apollo Lake cards but played perfectly on the Core m3 card. The drawback however was that the fan is also noticeably audible when playing the video on the Core m3 card. The internal temperature when playing videos using KODI on the Apollo Lake cards is very similar whereas it is much higher on the Core m3 card although the dock’s fan was able to prevent any thermal throttling.
Interestingly the ‘temperature cost’ of KODI is very significant on the Core m3 and was obvious after exiting the application: Network connectivity throughput measured using ‘iperf’ was similar across the cards: with the wifi performance measuring much better than comparable mini PC devices. I’ve long thought we’d ultimately see such devices, where the CPU comes with a pluggable card into the rest of the machine. This one has some drawbacks that may make it unfit to certain environments, like the internal fan. Better have an aluminum enclosure with fins to spread the heat.

I also think that the locked-in approach consisting in authenticating each other is a mistake (and a stupid one). What we’ll see will be competitors agreeing on a standard form factor and specifications making them interchangeable. In the end intel will be the only one incompatible with the next standard or will have to drop support for their initial devices.
For the enterprise market, despite being quite expensive, it may end up reducing the cost of the stock because instead of keeping a few models of full PCs in stock they can keep just the dock and a few board models. Oh and I wouldn’t trust too much a mechanism relying on a bit of electronics for the board’s ejection since it’s very likely controllable by software as well 🙂 We’ve all seen CD drives randomly eject when launching certain applications, this time it can get funnier 🙂.

Manufacturers get rich from you having to buy the next model, not just upgrading the CPU. Apple got rich not from making old phones run new hardware but customers having to upgrade to newer designs for hardware. The only upgrade model which worked in the mass consumer market for several years was the IBM inspired PC with expansion slots. Went through isa, vesa logic bus, many flavours of pci., ide, scsi, sata, serial, parallel printer port, USB etc. Main board formats, CPU socket changes, memory specs, power requirements and cooling needs. The rate of change means designs like docks can soon go out of date as the hardware leaps forward. Back in the PC market again, you use to be able to buy a new CPU to upgrade your old slow motherboard to a speed of CPU it never supported, but it cost a lot of money and was never as fast as a new designed computer and new CPU.
On a TV just buy a new smart TV box, no Smart TV OS update needed and TV can sell to many countries, many markets with differing needs. China has TV box OS which have no use outside China and China dependant services. Android TV ( based on phone ROMs ) can sell world wide, support many languages.
