The XVB602 Single Board Computer (SBC)
from GE Intelligent Platforms features the
highly integrated Core i7 processor platform
from Intel. Core i7 offers integrated graphics
and memory controller plus dual core
processing up to 2.53 GHz.
Coupled with the Mobile Intel QM57 Express
Chipset this provides an unmatched level of
I/O bandwidth for both on-board and offboard functions.
Features of the Core i7 processor:
• Intel Intelligent Power Technology allows
processors to operate at optimal frequency
and power.
• Intelligent performance on-demand with
Intel Turbo Boost Technology
• Multi-level shared cache improves
performance and efficiency by reducing
latency to frequently used data
• Hyper-Thread Technology – 2 threads per
core
• Streaming SIMD extensions 4.1/4.2
The XVB602 offers two on-board mezzanine
expansion sites for enhanced system
flexibility, one of which is PMC/XMC capable
and one of which is PMC only.
The XVB602 provides further customer
defined I/O capabilities with the board-toboard connector for the EXP237 XMC/PMC
carrier/IO expansion board, which offers
customers three additional PCI-X XMC/PMC
expansion sites to utilize.
