[2] RadiSys Announces its Latest Single Board Computer Featuring Intel's New 500MHz Mobile Pentium III Processor.HILLSBORO, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 10, 1999-- RadiSys Corp. (Nasdaq:RSYS), a leading global designer and manufacturer of embedded computing solutions used by OEMs in the telecommunications, automation and other industries, announces the availability of its Pentium(R) III single board computer (SBC (1) (SBC Communications Inc., San Antonio, TX, www.sbc.com) A large, national telecommunications company that grew from a multitude of local and regional companies, including Southwestern Bell, Pacific Bell and Nevada Bell, into a single, unified brand by 2002. ) with the Intel(R)'s new 500MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. Mobile Pentium(R) III processor. This new product comes on the heels of Intel(R) Corp.'s announcement of the availability of its Mobile Pentium(R) III 500MHz processor based on Intel(R)'s .18-micron technology. "Today's RadiSys Pentium(R) III announcement demonstrates our ability to respond to our customers and quickly implement Intel(R)'s latest processor into our line of single board computers," says Stuart Cohen cohen or kohen (Hebrew: “priest”) Jewish priest descended from Zadok (a descendant of Aaron), priest at the First Temple of Jerusalem. The biblical priesthood was hereditary and male. , vice president, worldwide marketing, RadiSys Corp. RadiSys' Pentium(R) III SBC answers customers' demands for a Pentium(R) III processor at the 500MHz speed, thus continuing to enhance the RadiSys line of SBCs. Intel(R)'s latest processor will increase the SBC's speed, performance and power, thereby increasing the OEM's productivity in all aspects of embedded, telecom and Internet applications. Intel(R)'s new Mobile Pentium(R) III 500MHz processor is 23 to 131% faster than the Mobile Pentium(R) II processor running at 400MHz. OEMs get greater performance including faster access to memory and peripheral data with the 256k of L2 on-die cache, advanced transfer cache The Advanced Transfer Cache (ATC) is Intel's name for the L2 cache contained within their processors, starting with the Pentium III "Coppermine". In "Coppermine" it offered a significant boost in cache performance resulting in notable per clock performance gains for the CPU when architecture, and the 100 MHz system bus. Highlighted Features RadiSys' latest SBC, the PB3000BX-SVE, was developed for the PCI/ISA market. It is based on the Intel(R) 440BX and PIIX PIIX PCI ISA IDE Accelerator (Intel chipset) PIIX Pci to Isa Ide Accelerator 4E chipset. This highly integrated SBC features a wide variety of on-board peripherals including Dual Channel Ultra2 SCSI; AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) A high-speed 32-bit port from Intel for attaching a display adapter to a PC. It provides a direct connection between the card and memory, and only one AGP slot is on the motherboard. Video 4MB VRAM See video RAM. VRAM - video random-access memory ; 10/100baseTx Ethernet; and dual EIDE (Enhanced IDE) An extension to the IDE interface that supports the ATA-2 and ATAPI standards. ATA-2 (Fast ATA) provides faster transfer rates (see IDE for details) and allows for multiple channels, each connecting two devices. . Additionally, it includes 4Mb Flash Memory; up to 512MB of PC100 SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) A type of dynamic RAM (DRAM) memory chip that has been widely used since the late 1990s. SDRAM chips eliminated wait states by dividing the chip into two cell blocks and interleaving data between them. ; PS/2 mouse and keyboard connections; 2 USB ports; and an Intelligent Platform Management Interface The Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) specification defines a set of common interfaces to computer hardware and firmware which system administrators can use to monitor system health and manage the system. Several dozen companies support IPMI. (IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) A protocol for monitoring server hardware for temperature, voltage, chassis intrusion, etc. Introduced in 1998 by Intel, HP, NEC and Dell, IPMI defines a standard set of messages for the characteristics of hardware ). As with all RadiSys SBC products, it comes with a two-year warranty. RadiSys latest SBC product is currently available and can be ordered under the product name PB3000BX-SVE.
