Embedded Computing
Intel® Core™ i7-860 and Core™ i5-750 Processors for Embedded Computing
Product Overview
When paired with the Intel® Q57 chipset, these platforms provide outstanding performance for a variety of market segments, including retail, digital signage, digital security surveillance, gaming, medical, communications and industrial automation and control.
The dual-channel integrated memory controller supports high-speed data trans­fer, providing lower memory latency in a two-chip solution, with board real estate savings over previous three-chip platforms. Developers can create one board design and scale their product line with a variety of processors using the same socket. While incorporating advanced technology, these processors remain software-compatible with previous IA-32 processors. Addition­ally, Intel provides an extensive ecosystem of development support focused on the embedded market.

Product Highlights
Innovative Integration: An integrated
high-speed, 1333 MHz dual-channel DDR3
memory controller and exible x16 PCI
Express* 2.0 controller are integrated with the processor.
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology: Appli­cations take advantage of higher speed execution on demand by using available processor thermal headroom to let the individual processor cores run at a higher frequency.
Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology:
Simultaneous multi-threading boosts performance for parallel, multi-threaded applications. It delivers two processing threads per physical core for a total of
eight threads, signicantly enhancing
computational throughput and multi­tasking capabilities (Intel Core i7-860 processor only).
Intel® Intelligent Power Technology
Reduces idle power consumption through architectural improvements such as integrated power gates and automated low-power states.
Intel® vPro™ Technology: Delivers unprecedented hardware support for vital security and management functions with Intel® Virtualization Technology, Intel® Active Management Technology, and Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (Intel Core i7-860 processor only).

(i7-860 only)
Protects system investment by enabling extended product availability for embedded customers.
Along with a strong ecosystem of hardware and software vendors, including members of the Intel® Embedded Alliance (intel.com/go/eca), Intel helps to cost-effectively meet development challenges and speed time-to-market.
Boosts performance for specific workloads by increasing processor frequency.
Delivers bandwidth improvement for data-intensive applications.
Enables simultaneous multi-threading within each processor core, up to two threads per core, or up to eight threads per processor; reduces computational latency, making optimal use of every clock cycle.
Large on-die shared Last Level Cache reduces latency to data, improving performance and power efficiency.
Automated energy-efficiency capabilities reduce power consumption.
Reduces idle processor cores to near zero power when not in use to help conserve power and lower operating costs.
Adjusts system power consumption based on real-time processor loads.
Remote management, flexible virtualization and enhanced security enable solutions that are reliable, trusted, and cost-effective.
The latest remote management and maintenance capabilities enable IT professionals to query, fix, and protect networked embedded devices, even when they’re powered off, not responding or have software issues. As part of Intel vPro technology, Intel AMT helps perform remote asset tracking and checks the presence of management agents virtually anytime. Also, devices can be remotely turned on/off to reduce energy consumption during non-peak operating times.
Speeds the transfer of platform control and movement of data between the virtual machine monitor (VMM) and other platform agents (including guest OSs and I/O devices). By lowering the workload on the VMM, this technology addresses many embedded system design challenges, like migrating legacy software, increasing real-time performance, and making applications more secure.
Protects embedded devices and virtual environments against rootkit and other system level attacks. Using an industry-standard TPM 1.2 to store keys and other protected data, this portion of Intel vPro technology boots the BIOS, operating system and software into a “trusted” execution state, verifying the integrity of the virtual machine and protecting the platform from unauthorized access.
