&& PREVIOUS FINALIST | MAIN | NEXT FINALIST >> Category: Microprocessors Finalist: EP80579 integrated processor (Intel)  With EP80579, the innovation was integration; the traditional, individual three-chip design of the CPU (Intel Pen-tium M processor), MCH (memory controller hub with integrated PCI express) and IOH (integrated I/O controller hub with SATA, USB) has been replaced by one piece of silicon on which these parts are integrated. Intel also inte-grated additional flexible I/O support with three Ethernet MACs, two Controller Area Network interfaces and a local expansion bus interface. Intel QuickAssist technology for acceleration of security processing and TDM/FXS/FXO In-terfaces for the IP-PBX market complement this complex integration.The platform benefits include a 34 percent power savings vs. multi-component solutions and an up to 45 percent reduced footprint. The Intel EP80579 come with Intel’s extended 7-year long lifecycle manufacturing support, sup-porting applications in the traditional and emerging embedded markets. |
