IBASE Technology MBB1002 eATX (Extended ATX) motherboard is powered by AMD EPYC Embedded 8004 series processors and takes up to 576GB DDR5-4800 ECC memory for next-generation edge AI and data-intensive applications in manufacturing, transportation, and edge computing infrastructure.
The “embedded” motherboard features five PCIe Gen5 x16 slots for integrating various GPUs and AI accelerators, dual 10GbE networking, NVMe and SATA storage, and USB 3.2 ports with PDPC (Peripheral Device Power Control).
IBASE MBB1002 specifications:

The user manual lists Ubuntu 22.04, Windows Server 2022, and Windows Server 2025 as supported operating systems and indicates that drivers are included within the supported OS distributions, so IBASE does not provide drivers themselves.
I would have assumed this type of niche, high-end hardware would be reserved for B2B customers, and no pricing information would be public, but I would be wrong. The MB1002 is sold on Mouser for $1,343.94 without CPU, memory, or storage. More details, including the datasheet and user manual, can be found on the product page.
