Intel Extends Embedded Offerings With Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo Processors.Intel[R] Core[TM] Microarchitecture Sets New Standard for Low Power, Scalability in the Embedded Market Refers to custom-designed, computer-based devices and applications that perform a fixed set of tasks. It may refer to cellphones and other handhelds, network appliances (routers, access points, modems) and myriad consumer electronics products. SANTA CLARA Santa Clara, city, Cuba Santa Clara (sän`tä klä`rä), city (1994 est. pop. 217,000), capital of Villa Clara prov., central Cuba. , Calif. -- Intel Corporation (company) Intel Corporation - A US microelectronics manufacturer. They produced the Intel 4004, Intel 8080, Intel 8086, Intel 80186, Intel 80286, Intel 80386, Intel 486 and Pentium microprocessor families as well as many other integrated circuits and personal computer networking today announced expanded life cycle support for the Intel[R] Core[TM]2 Duo E6400 and T7400 processors for embedded applications, ranging from bank ATMs to point-of-sale cash registers. Based on the revolutionary Intel[R] Core[TM] microarchitecture, these two Intel dual-core processors expand the portfolio of high-performance, power efficient solutions with long life cycle support for 5 to 7 years for its embedded customers. The Intel Core The latest generation of the Intel x86 family of CPUs. Core supersedes the 13-year run of the Pentium, which was introduced in 1993. It essentially represents the ninth generation of the x86 architecture, the first chip appearing in the IBM PC in 1981. 2 Duo embedded processors meet the demands of a wide range of performance-intensive, low-power embedded applications that require smaller form factors. Beyond ATMs and point-of-sale terminals, the processors are ideal for interactive computers such as gaming platforms, industrial control and automation, digital security surveillance, medical imaging and communications applications. The Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 and T7400 processors offer a range of performance and performance-per-watt capabilities to provide embedded customers with the design flexibility to create new solutions and to solve small form factor design challenges typical of embedded market segments. Taking advantage of the Intel Core microarchitecture, these new products offer a power-sensitive blueprint design providing enhanced energy-efficient performance to help equipment manufacturers balance processing capabilities within power and space constraints. System-enhancing hardware innovations such as Intel[R] Virtualization Technology See VT. See also virtualization. (Intel VT) are also supported in the E6400 and T7400 processors. With Intel VT, embedded applications running on separate platforms can be consolidated onto a single platform, helping to fuel cost savings and improve reliability and manageability. "For decades Intel has been a leader in embedded products, and today we have raised the bar for embedded performance while maintaining the low thermals and long life cycle support that are critical to embedded applications," said Joe Jensen, general manager, Marketing and Platform Programs, Intel Communications Infrastructure Group. "The remarkable performance and energy efficiency that Intel Core 2 Duo processors offer desktop and laptop PCs are significant benefits now available to our embedded customers." Intel is also announcing extended lifecycle support for the latest chipset to pair with the Core 2 Duo See Core 2. E6400, the Intel[R] Q965 Express chipset. This innovative chipset provides Intel[R] Active Management Technology capabilities, which allows for remote management and minimizes productivity loss due to system down-time. The Intel Core 2 Duo T7400 processor has been validated with the Intel[R] Q945 Express chipset, an extended lifecycle chipset announced earlier this year. "Intel's continued innovation in multi-core processors delivers the increased performance and capabilities needed by our customers for distributed real-time systems Real-time systems Computer systems in which the computer is required to perform its tasks within the time restraints of some process or simultaneously with the system it is assisting. ," said Dr. James Truchard Dr. James Joseph Truchard (born June 25, 1943 in Austin County, Texas) is the co-founder and current president and CEO of National Instruments, a company producing automated test equipment and virtual instrumentation software. , president, co-founder and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of National Instruments National Instruments, or NI (NASDAQ: NATI), is an American company with over 4,000 employees and direct operations in 41 countries founded in 1976 by Dr. James Truchard, Bill Nowlin and Jeff Kodosky. . "With the new Core 2 Duo processor platform, Intel has taken another step forward in delivering high performance, while also providing a platform for our customers to quickly design, prototype and deploy systems that are critical to the digital factory." The Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 and T7400 processors are currently available and priced at $224 and $423 respectively, in 1,000-unit quantities. The Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 and T7400 processors for embedded applications will be demonstrated at Intel's booth (#801) at the Embedded Systems Conference, Sept. 25-28, at the Hynes Convention Center The John B. Hynes Veterans Memorial Convention Center located in Boston's Back Bay has 193,000 square feet (0 m) of exhibit space and can accommodate up to four concurrent events. in Boston. Intel, the world leader in silicon innovation, develops technologies, products and initiatives to continually advance how people work and live.
