I/O-rich PICMG 1.3-style SHB features Twin Intel® Nehalem/Westmere Processors and Full PCI-X 64-bit Support
NORTH ANDOVER, MA: WIN Enterprises, Inc., a leading designer and manufacturer of embedded platforms for OEMs, announces the MB-80100, a PICMG 1.3-style SHB that supports twin multicore Intel Nehalem and Westmere processors. MB-80100 features the Intel LGA 1366 processor socket that enables CPU scalability across the Nehalem and Westmere multicore processor families.
The MB-80100 features the Intel® 5520 Chipset, FireWire, an LSI 1068E RAID chip and PCI-X. Unlike other PICMG 1.3 boards, the MB-80100 provides up to 20 lanes of full 64-bit PCI-Express support providing unsurpassed I/O in applications that include military, scientific, medical, seismic, meteorology, and others.
Intel Nehalem and Westmere processors exploit advances of Intel® in 32 and 45 nm hafnium-based hi-k metal gate transistors and related manufacturing technologies. The integrated memory controller of these processors enables energy-efficient parallel processing performance. MB-80100 supports dual- and quad-core Nehalem, and quad- and six-core Westmere processors. The 32 nm Westmere processor family is expected to grow to 8 and 12-core versions. These processors will be supported by MB-80100 as they become available.
