We’re proud to announce the VPX6-1952, the first rugged 6U VPX single board computer based on the Intel® Core™2 Duo Penryn processor T9400. The VPX6-1952 was designed for use as the General Processor Modules (GPM) for use in the Integrated Computer System (ICS) of the U.S. Army’s Future Combat Systems (FCS) program.
The VPX6-1952 is based on the Intel Core2 Duo Penryn processor T9400, which delivers significantly enhanced energy-efficient performance, making it an ideal x86 platform for space, weight and power (SWaP)-limited aerospace and defense applications. This Intel Core2 Duo Penryn processor integrates two complete execution cores in one physical package, providing advancements in simultaneous computing for multi-threaded applications and multi-tasking environments. Intel’s hafnium-based 45nm Hi-k silicon process technology enables even more processor performance by doubling transistor density and increasing cache size by up to 50 percent.
The Intel Core2 Duo Penryn processor T9400 is validated with the Mobile Intel® GM45 Express chipset, providing excellent processor and graphics performance, storage speed and reliability, and up to 8GB of 800MHz DDR3 system memory.
This platform provides graphics core performance up to 533 MHz and is ideal for a broad range of embedded applications such as interactive clients, embedded platforms and industrial automation equipment.
