Processors for Embedded Computing
Product Overview
Based on 45nm process technology,
Intel® Core™ i7-860
∆
and Core™ i5-750
∆
processors feature quad-core process-
ing and Intel® Turbo Boost Technology
1
to meet the needs of compute-intensive
embedded applications. The Intel Core
i7-860 processor also features Intel®
Hyper-Threading Technology
2
which
enables simultaneous multi-threading
within each processor core.
When paired with the Intel® Q57 chipset,
these platforms provide outstanding
performance for a variety of market
segments, including retail, digital signage,
digital security surveillance, gaming,
medical, communications and industrial
automation and control.
The dual-channel integrated memory
controller supports high-speed data trans-
fer, providing lower memory latency in a
two-chip solution, with board real estate
savings over previous three-chip platforms.
Developers can create one board design
and scale their product line with a variety
of processors using the same socket. While
incorporating advanced technology, these
processors remain software-compatible
with previous IA-32 processors. Addition-
ally, Intel provides an extensive ecosystem
of development support focused on the
embedded market.
Product Highlights
Innovative Integration:
An integrated
high-speed, 1333 MHz dual-channel DDR3
memory controller and flexible x16 PCI
Express* 2.0 controller are integrated
with the processor.
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology:
Appli-
cations take advantage of higher speed
execution on demand by using available
processor thermal headroom to let the
individual processor cores run at a
higher frequency.
Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology:
Simultaneous multi-threading boosts
performance for parallel, multi-threaded
applications. It delivers two processing
threads per physical core for a total of
eight threads, significantly enhancing
computational throughput and multi-
tasking capabilities (Intel Core
i7-860 processor only).
Intel® Intelligent Power Technology
3
:
Reduces idle power consumption through
architectural improvements such as
integrated power gates and automated
low-power states.
Intel® vPro™ Technology:
Delivers
unprecedented hardware support for
vital security and management functions
with Intel® Virtualization Technology,
4
Intel® Active Management Technology,
5
and Intel® Trusted Execution Technology
6
(Intel Core i7-860 processor only).
