The Compute Card has an array of features that play into a simplified design for customers, according to Intel.

The small card is equipped with a standardized I/O interface to support multiple devices, using a variant of the USB-C port called the USB-C plus extension to plug into other systems. According to Intel, that feature enables connected devices to directly access not only HDMI  and DisplayPort video inputs, but also USB and PCIe inputs.

The card also comes with the option of a range of processors – including the seventh-generation Intel Core vPro. According to Intel, the Compute Card also features low-wattage computing with cooling integrated in the dock.
