Feature rich and power efficient

It never ceases to amaze how much functionality can be placed on today’s 6U Single Board Computers (SBCs). While the package pin-count continues to grow, the chip count goes down with increasing functionality going into each new generation of processors and chipsets. Concurrent Technologies’ latest VPX processor board based on the 4th generation Intel Core processor family is part of that trend. The VR E1x/msd is a 6U VPX board featuring either the quad-core Intel Core i7-4700EQ processor or the dual-core Intel Core i5-4400E processor, together with the associated mobile Intel QM87 Express chipset. With up to 32 Gbytes of DRAM and a rich assortment of I/O interfaces, including two PMC/XMC sites, this board is ideal for high-end command and control, surveillance, radar, and image processing systems.
