GE Fanuc Introduces Intel Pentium M VME Single Board Computer High Bandwidth Data Processing with Minimal Power Requirements



Huntsville, Ala. - GE Fanuc's latest VME single board computer, VMIVME-7810, brings together the power of Intel®'s Pentium® M processor coupled with Dual Data Rate (DDR) SDRAM memory, Dual Gigabit Ethernet and the high speed PCI-X internal bus to provide the highest level of data processing and handling capabilities in a VME form factor. At 1.6 GHz , the VMIVME-7810 performs many applications comparable to 2.4 GHz but requires roughly 50% less power. This single board computer (SBC) is ideal for various purposes including communications and military/defense applications.

GE Fanuc's VMIVME-7810 is a high performance, dual slot, Intel Pentium M processor-based SBC with 1 MB L2 Advanced Transfer Cache, a 400 MHz system bus, Micro-ops fusion, dedicated stack manager capabilities, and advanced instruction prediction capability. These features are incorporated specifically to increase performance and throughput while reducing power demands. The two PMC expansion sites utilize the PCI-X bus to provide higher I/O bandwidth than previously available in a VME SBC. The PCI-X bus provides up to 1 GB/s bandwidth to support high speed I/O devices such as Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet, SCSI, Reflective Memory and InfiniBand.

Additional features of the VMIVME-7810 include: two high performance serial ports, one enhanced parallel port, 32-bit/66 MHz PCI graphics, Digital Visual Interface located on front panel, and operating system support for Windows NT®, Windows® 2000, Windows XP , Linux®, QNX, and VxWorks®.
