Processor module supports either the 2.16 or 1.5GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor to provide high performance processing, and the Intel 3100 chipset to support up to 8Gbyte of DDR2 ECC SDRAM.

Concurrent Technologies has a new high-performance Advanced Mezzanine Card (AdvancedMC) single width full height processor module suitable for AdvancedTCA, MicroTCA and proprietary platforms The AM 110/10x supports either the 2.16 or 1.5GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor to provide high performance processing, and the Intel 3100 chipset to support up to 8Gbyte of DDR2 ECC SDRAM

The AM 110/10x is designed for use in a variety of applications including wireless basestations, voice over IP, media servers, blade servers within the communication market as well as projects within the defence, security and industrial markets.

For embedded types of applications there is an option for an onboard application flash disk (up to 8Gbyte).

Accordingly, the AM 110/10x supports a variety of industry standard operating systems.

The AM 110/10x supports the 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T7400 processor (soldered) or 1.5GHz Intel Core 2 Duo L7400 processor (soldered), each with 4Mbyte L2 cache (shared between the cores), both processors can support 64bit operating systems.

Concurrent Technologies' composite benchmark test on the AM 110/01x shows the relative CPU performance of the 2.16GHz processor to be 1.8x faster than the 1.5GHz.

Glen Fawcett, CEO of Concurrent Technologies, says: "Concurrent Technologies is one of the first to the AMC market with a 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo based AMC processor supporting up to 8Gbyte of DDR2 ECC DRAM in a single width slot".

"This product offers our customers a range of processor and memory choices to match their system requirements".

To enhance overall memory and I/O performance the AM 110/10x uses the Intel 3100 chipset, which combines server-class memory and I/O controller functions into a single component.

The Intel 3100 chipset interfaces to up to 8Gbyte DDR2-400 ECC memory, via two registered SODIMMs, with a peak memory bandwidth of 3.2Gbyte/s.

The AM 110/10x is designed in compliance to AMC.0 (including full hot swap and IPMI capabilities), AMC.1 Type 8 (PCI Express x8), AMC.2 Type E2 (dual Gigabit Ethernet) and AMC.3 Type S2 (four Serial ATA150 ports).

The module also features two USB 2.0 ports and an RS232 port.

There is a further Gigabit Ethernet port, USB 2.0 port and RS232 port accessible via the front panel.

An optional onboard USB Flash disk is available in a range of capacities up to 8Gbyte.

For ease of integration, many of today's leading operating systems are supported including Linux, Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, Windows XP Embedded and QNX.
