6 Introduction
1.6 Functional Description
Processor Support
The NuPRO-935A is a single processor design for the latest Intel
Yorkfield/Wolfdale/Conroe Processor family, starting from 1.8 GHz
core frequency with future option up to 3.0 GHz. With one LGA775
socket, the CPU connects with Intel Q35 MCH through the
800/1066/1333 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB).
Intel® Q35 + ICH9 Express chipset
The Intel® Q35 Express chipset provides the vital interfaces for
the SBC. The Intel® Q35 comes with purpose-built capabilities
designed specifically to address the key needs of the industrial
computing environment and delivers improved system perfor-
mance and comes with the integrated Intel® Graphics Media
Accelerator 3100 engine that promotes advanced 3D, 2D, and
video capabilities and cost-effective system building. The chipset
also supports high-bandwidth interfaces including as PCI
Express®, Serial ATA, and USB 2.0, as well as dual-channel
DDR2 system memory.
Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 3100
The Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 3100 revolutionizes
integrated graphics with new capabilities that provide significant
increase in graphics performance. With support for DirectX 9 hard-
ware acceleration, core frequency of 400 MHz, and up to 256 MB
of video memory, the Intel GMA 3100 provides a cost-effective
and high-performance graphics solution.
Dual-channel DDR2 memory
To meet the requirements of memory-intensive applications, the
NuPRO-935A has a dual-channel memory architecture supporting
DDR2 667/800 MHz DIMMs. The high-bandwidth memory
specification, meets the requirements of the latest 3D graphics,
multimedia, and network application, and boosts system
performance by eliminating bottlenecks.
