Extreme Engineering Solutions, Inc. (X-ES) announces the availability of seven embedded computing products based on the new Intel® Core™ i7 processor. X-ES is committed to supporting the Intel® Core™ i7 embedded processor across Extreme Engineering’s entire line of form factors with support for the Intel® Core™ i7-610E, i7-620LE, and i7-620UE processors.
All products from X-ES based on the Intel® Core™ i7 embedded processor are available in commercial, air-cooled to rugged, conduction-cooled versions suitable for a wide variety of commercial, industrial, and military applications.
The Intel® Core™ i7 processor represents the next step in faster, multi-core technology that dynamically maximizes performance to meet workload demands. Intel®’s fundamental architectural change implemented in the Intel® Core™ i7 processor represents a significant leap forward in computational performance. By leveraging a 32 nm manufacturing process, an impressive performance-per-watt ratio is achieved. In addition, integrated DDR3 ECC dual-channel memory and high-performance graphics controllers allow the processor to break the bandwidth limitations of past system architectures.
X-ES has coupled this revolutionary processor technology with the Intel® QM57 Express chipset – a low-power interface controller. This power-efficient device offers integrated PCI Express, USB, SATA 3 Gb/s, and graphics interfaces. The Intel® Core™ i7 processor coupled with the Intel® QM57 Express chipset provides high performance within an embedded power budget.
