The APU3D4 board is a compact and low-power embedded system board designed by PC Engines. It features a quad-core AMD GX-412TC processor with a clock speed of 1 GHz and an integrated Radeon R3 graphics processor. The board is equipped with 4 GB DDR3-1333 DRAM, 2 MB L2 cache, and a SATA port for internal storage.

 

One of the most notable features of the APU3D4 board is its three Gigabit Ethernet ports, all of which are based on Intel i211AT controllers. This makes the board an ideal choice for network applications such as firewalls, load balancers, and VPN routers.

 

The APU3D4 board also includes two internal USB 2.0 ports and two external USB 3.0 ports, an mSATA slot, and a mini PCIe slot for optional wireless connectivity. It is compatible with various open-source operating systems, including Linux, BSD, and pfSense.

 

In terms of its applications, the APU3D4 board can be used as a firewall, load balancer, VPN router, thin client, compact server, and NAS. It is a versatile and powerful platform that can handle a wide range of tasks.

 

Finally, the APU3D4 board is the next generation of the popular APU1D4 board. It builds upon the success of its predecessor while offering improved performance and additional features.
