Kontron will showcase the capabilities of ETXexpress-PM, the first COM Express solution based on the IntelPentium M processor 760 and new Intel 915GM chipset, at Embedded World 2005.
Boards embed advantages of PCI and PCI Express
Unveiled at Embedded World by Kontron Embedded Modules Pisa Express is a new CPU slot card concept that implements both PCI and PCI Express via a single half-size slot.
The new Intel Core2 Duo micro-architecture is designed to deliver increased performance and better performance-per-watt thus increasing overall energy efficiency, making it one of the most important embedded processors for 2007.
The product portfolio ranges from computer-on-modules ETX 3.0 and ETXexpress/COM Express, four embedded motherboards including Mini-ITX, Flex-ATX and ATX in two versions, up to SBCs for PICMG 1.3, 3U CompactPCI, 6U CompactPCI and last not least AdvancedMC.
Kontron is the world's only vendor of embedded computer technology with such a complete product range of all relevant embedded form factors, so large OEMs that require different form factors for different applications within their company can get them all from a single vendor - reducing their overall cost and increasing their current and future flexibility significantly.
The Intel Core 2 Duo processor T7x00 is one of the latest members of Intel's performance product line of multicore processors based on the new Intel Core micro-architecture.
Users that are already using or plan to use existing platforms from Kontron based on the Intel Core Duo processor T2400/T2500 will have a seamless performance boost by moving to the Intel Core2 Duo processor T7400 which offers 4Mbyte, twice as much L2 cache - which can be dynamically assigned to each of the cores, as well as a 64bit architecture.
The power consumption of the new processors is only slightly higher than the Intel Core Duo processors due to new features like enhanced speedstep and dynamic bus parking.
Customers will also have available to them system-enhancing technologies in these new processor/chipset platforms such as Intel Virtualisation Technology and Intel Advanced Management Technology (Intel AMT).
The Intel Core2 Duo processor T7400, with a thermal design power of 34W, is ideal for communications and embedded designs requiring a low thermal envelope.
