Detailed explanation-1: -Dimensions of a full-size ATX board are 12 × 9.6 in (305 × 244 mm), which allows many ATX chassis to accept microATX boards. The ATX specifications were released by Intel in 1995 and have been revised numerous times since. The most recent ATX motherboard specification is version 2.2.
Detailed explanation-2: -ATX is the standard form factor of the motherboard. EATX is nothing but a type of ATX with a bigger size. As of 2021, it is the de facto standard of the motherboard. EATX is the largest variant of the ATX board.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -A full size ATX board is 12 inches wide by 9.6 inches deep (305mm x 244mm). The Mini-ATX board is 11.2” x 8.2” (284mm x 208mm).
