Acrosser Launches a New PCI/104+Solution-AR-B8020
There are many industrial applications only need 386 or 486 level CPU to execute basic industrial applications. Nowadays those low cost processors has been phased out from the market, system integrators are forced to spend more cost on new platforms which are expensive and over requirements. For example, the current X86 CPU clocks are all over 600MHz. and form factor sizes are bigger than 3.5". They are either too expensive or too big for simple industrial applications.
Industrial application can also choose RISC platform beside X86 to decrease the platform costs. But, they need to spend more manpower and time to develop dedicated RISC operation system. For small and middle size projects, it is very difficult to afford these extra investments and time costs.
Acrosser Technology Co. Ltd is recently announces it's PC-104 CPU module AR-B8020 entry-level platform. This PC-104 CPU board is X86 software structure with high cost performance ratio. The followings are AR-B8020 brief introduction:
