Budget price for Pentium 4 SBC
The Peak 715VL Series SBC supports the Intel socket 478 Pentium 4 CPU with 400/533MHz system bus operating at up to 2.8GHz, and is available at very competitive prices for OEMs and system integrators.
Server hosts up to eight Opteron-based blades
The NexBlade HS416 is powered by an AMD Opteron 64bit processor for cost effective, high performance blade solutions to a broad spectrum of IT applications.
In the industrial computing market, the majority of peripherals and functions are still heavily reliant on legacy I/O connection.
By default, the Intel Q965 chipset only supports the latest high-performance peripherals like SATA and PCIe.
It does not support legacy peripherals like ISA.
The Nexcom RandD team has solved this problem by adding additional components to ensure the smooth backward support of ISA expansion.
Therefore, the Peak 765VL2 is the only PICMG 1.0 standard supporting both Intel Core 2 Duo CPU (1033 MHz) and ISA expansion in the market.
Because the Intel Core 2 Duo technology offers increased processing capability and lower heat dissipation, typical at 65W TDP, the Peak 765VL2 is able to offer greater processing reliability and integration flexibility.
With the single Socket LGA775, supporting Intel LGA775 Core 2 Duo, Pentium 4, Pentium D, and Celeron D processors with 533/800/1066MHz FSB, the Peak 765VL2 is a low-cost, high-performance industrial computing platform.
The Peak 765VL2 has ultra reliable board design to ensure smooth operation in various industrial computing environments.
Since all components of the Peak 765VL2 are designed to mount only on one side of the board, the Peak 765VL2 board requires less manufacturing and components.
As a result, the Peak 765VL2 has a much lower failure rate due to the component failure.
With high processing performance and support for the ISA expansions to extend the life cycle of legacy peripherals, the Peak 765VL2 boasts a high price/performance ratio.
Since many existing peripherals in the industrial computing market are connected through a legacy ISA expansion port and all Nexcom industrial computing products come with a five-year shelf-life support, the Peak 765VL2 provides a great opportunity to upgrade a system's performance without giving up the legacy peripherals and applications for many years to come.
