Intels Jasper Lake series of products based on the Tremont microarchitecture was launched in early 2021. Since then, we have seen a steady stream of notebooks and motherboards / mini-PCs based on those processors getting introduced in the market.

Ultra-compact form-factor (UCFF) machines based on the Atom series offer attractive entry-level options in the NUC domain. Their low-power nature also lends itself to passively cooled designs. Today, we are looking at two different fanless Jasper Lake UCFF PCs - the ECS LIVA Z3 and the ZOTAC ZBOX CI331 nano.
