The XVR15 Rugged Single Board Computer
(SBC) from GE Intelligent Platforms features the
high performance, highly integrated 3
Generation Core i7 processor platform from
Intel.
rd
Generation Core i7 offers integrated
3
graphics and memory controller plus dual and
quad core processing up to 2.5 GHz all in one
device. Coupled with the Mobile Intel QM77
Express Chipset this provides an unmatched
level of I/O bandwidth for both on-board and
off-board functions.
Features of the 3rd Gen. Core i7 processor
• Up to 15% (compute) and 50% (3D graphics)
performance improvement over previous
generation
• Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX) signal
processing
• Intelligent performance on-demand with
Intel Turbo Boost Technology
• PCIe GEN 3 (8 GT/sec) and USB 3.0 (10x the
Bandwidth of 2.0) data transfer capability
• Hyper-Thread Technology – 2 threads per
core
In addition to a comprehensive range of
onboard I/O features, the XVR15 also offers two
on-board mezzanine expansion sites for
enhanced system flexibility, both of which offer
PMC and XMC capability. Memory resources
include up to 16 GB DDR3 SDRAM, 8 GB Solid
State Disk Drive, optional SATA hard drive, BIOS
Flash and BIOS backup Flash.
rd
The XVR15 is designed to meet the requirements
of a wide range of applications from industrial
through to fully rugged Defense and Aerospace
programs. It offers extended temperature
capability and a range of air and conduction
cooled build levels.
A rich software choice is planned for the XVR15,
including comprehensive Deployed Test Software
(BIT and BCS) plus OS support for Windows 7,
Open Linux, Wind River Linux, VxWorks®.
