The XVR16 Rugged Single Board Computer
(SBC) from GE Intelligent Platforms features
the high performance, highly integrated
4th Generation Core i7 processor platform
from Intel
4th Generation Core i7 offers integrated
graphics and memory controller plus quad
core processing up to 2.4GHz all in one
device. Coupled with the Mobile Intel QM87
Express Chipset this provides an unmatched
level of I/O bandwidth for both on-board and
off-board functions.
Features of the 4th Generation
Core i7 processor
• Graphics support for DX11.1, OpenCL 1.2,
OpenGL 3.2
• 5 to 15% CPU performance boost over
3rd generation
• Intel TurboBoost Technology
• Intel AVX 2.0 extensions and
AES-NI instructions
• Hardware assisted security features
• Hyper-Thread Technology – 2 threads
per core
®
Windows®, Linux® and
®
OS support
®
.
In addition to a comprehensive range of
onboard I/O features, the XVR16 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,
up to 64 GB NAND Flash, optional SATA hard
drive, BIOS Flash and BIOS backup Flash.
The XVR16 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
XVR16, including comprehensive Deployed
Test Software (BIT and BCS) and AXIS, plus OS
support for Microsoft Windows 7, Open Linux,
Wind River Linux, VxWorks.
