The Momentum Series Intel Core Duo-based Advance Mezzanine Card nearly doubles the compute resource available in an AMC form factor.

Mercury Computer Systems has introduced its Momentum Series Intel Core Duo-based Advance Mezzanine Card (AMC) that nearly doubles the compute resource available in an AMC form factor.

The AXA-100 AMC represents the industry's next-generation mezzanine standard supporting high-speed interfaces for use in both AdvancedTCA and MicroTCA systems.

The Momentum Series AXA-100 supports the Intel Core Duo processor L2400 and the Intel 3100 integrated chipset, and up to 4Gbyte of memory and high-bandwidth fabric XAUI and PCI Express links.

Coupling an Intel Core Duo processor with a Virtex-4 FPGA, results in a unique AMC offering, providing both general-purpose and highly specialised processing capability for the communications market.

US pricing for the Momentum Series AXA-100 Intel Core Duo Advance Mezzanine Card (AMC) starts at $4995.

The AXA-100 AMC is available now for small quantities and with delivery times of six-to-eight weeks for production quantities.
