According to the research statistics of DIResaerch, embedded motherboard products are divided into ARM, x86, PowerPC and others.

ARM architecture: Embedded motherboards with ARM architecture use ARM processors (usually based on ARM Cortex architecture) as their core processors. ARM architecture motherboards usually have the characteristics of low power consumption, high performance and small size, and are suitable for embedded application scenarios such as smartphones, tablets, and IoT devices.

x86 architecture: Embedded motherboards with x86 architecture use x86 processors from manufacturers such as Intel or AMD, such as Intel's Atom and Core series processors. Motherboards with x86 architecture usually have powerful computing performance and rich software support, and are suitable for application scenarios such as industrial control, network equipment, and embedded PCs.

PowerPC architecture: Embedded motherboards with PowerPC architecture use PowerPC processors from manufacturers such as IBM or Freescale (now NXP). PowerPC architecture motherboards usually have high performance and reliability, and are suitable for high-demand embedded systems such as industrial automation, aerospace, and military equipment.

Other architectures: In addition to the common architectures listed above, there are also some other embedded motherboards, such as MIPS architecture, RISC-V architecture, etc. These motherboards usually have specific characteristics and applicable scenarios, and are selected according to specific application requirements.

From the perspective of downstream applications, embedded motherboards are mainly used in: defense and aerospace, communications, medical, automotive and transportation, automation and control, and other fields.
