Detailed explanation-1: -ATX (Advanced Technology eXtended) is a motherboard and power supply configuration specification, patented by David Dent in 1995 at Intel, to improve on previous de facto standards like the AT design.
Detailed explanation-2: -Advanced Technology eXtended or ATX is the most common form factor of a computer motherboard. It was introduced by Intel in 1995 to replace the standard form factor motherboard i.e., AT or Advanced Technology.
Detailed explanation-3: -ATX VS EATX: Size The size of the ATX motherboard is 12 × 9.6 in (305 × 244 mm), while the size of the EATX motherboard is 12 x 13 in because EATX is one or two inches extra on the right side of the motherboard.
Detailed explanation-4: -Form factor refers to the physical size and shape (according to outside dimensions) of a computer device. It is most often used to describe the size of circuit boards, especially the motherboard and expansion cards.
Detailed explanation-5: -The different types of ATX are known as micro-ATX (sometimes shown as µATX, mini-ATX, FlexATX, EATX, WATX, nano-ATX, pico-ATX, and mobileATX). A smaller form factor is ITX, which comes in mini-ITX, nano-ITX, and pico-ITX sizes.
