Detailed explanation-1: -ATX (Advanced Technology eXtended) is a motherboard and power supply configuration specification developed and patented by Intel in 1995 to improve on previous de facto standards like the AT design.
Detailed explanation-2: -Invented by Intel in 1995, it incorporates the first major change in the layout of PC motherboards to occur in years. The ATX motherboard rotates the orientation of the board 90 degrees.
Detailed explanation-3: -AT and ATX stand for Advanced Technology power supply and Advanced Technology Extended power supply. Both are types of Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS).
Detailed explanation-4: -ATX vs. EATX, or Extended ATX, motherboards are 12 x 13 inches in size. This adds 3.4 inches to one side, making it wider and allowing you to install more components. Given that, EATX requires a bigger case than an ATX motherboard. However, with the bigger case, you also get more airflow.
Detailed explanation-5: -The ATX was first introduced in 1995 by Intel. It was an evolutionary design built on the previous Advanced Technology (AT) model by improving the outline of the case, the power supply and the motherboard. With a better use of space and resources, ATX quickly became the default form factor for most new PC systems.
