Shuttle has announced the Barebone X27D with Dual Core Intel Atom 330 CPU.

Shuttle Inc., the market leader in the Mini-PC segment and the manufacturer of multi-form-factor solutions now presents the successor to the successful market introduction of its first Nettop Barebone. The Shuttle Barebone X27D is the first Shuttle barebone to have an Intel Atom 330 Dual-Core processor working inside.

This nettop uses a Mini-ITX motherboard featuring a dual core Intel Atom 330 CPU, Gigabit Ethernet, 2 SATAII ports and DVI output. It is also available as a configurable system under the X2700B reference.

You can find specifications and a comparison of the X27/X27D in this article I posted a few days ago.

Shuttle Barebone X27D Specifications:

• CPU: Intel Atom 330 CPU (1.6GHz dual core)

Shuttle has published details on their new Shuttle X-Series Barebone X27D.

This nettop uses a Mini-ITX motherboard featuring a dual core Intel Atom 330 CPU. It is otherwise identical to the Shuttle X-Series Barebone X27.

Other features of the Mini-ITX board in the X27/X27D include Gigabit Ethernet, 2 SATAII ports and DVI output. Worth noting is that there is no PCI or PCIe expansion slot available (there is an empty space on the board where the connector should be).

For those looking for a complete Mini-ITX Atom board, and don’t want the hassle of getting a separate case and power supply, this is a good system to buy. You may even be able to get it as a complete system under the X2700B reference when Shuttle releases it.

Here is a comparison table of the X27/X27D models:

There is another Shuttle product in their range - the KPC K58 - that uses a Mini-ITX Atom motherboard. Similar to the X27, I would expect Shuttle to soon release the KPC K58D - upgrade of the KPC K58 with the dual core Atom 330 CPU.

[Update: fixed the number of USB ports from 4 to 10, and reference to complete system X2700B (was X2700D)]
