Intel Core i5-6442EQ

4C/4T · 2.7 GHz · 25 W

The Intel Core i5-6442EQ is a low-power embedded quad-core processor from Intel's Skylake generation, designed for fanless or thermally constrained industrial and embedded systems such as digital signage, point-of-sale terminals and industrial control equipment. Its integrated graphics provide capable multi-display output for signage and kiosk applications without a discrete GPU. As a long-lifecycle BGA part, it targets embedded system integrators needing extended product availability over consumer refresh cycles.
