CPU
The ReadyBoard 910 supports two versions of the Intel Core CPU—the i7 2710QE and the i5
2510E—operating at 2.1GHz and 2.5 GHz, respectively. The CPUs integrate high-performance, 64-bit, x86
multi Processor Cores with Memory Controllers and 3D Graphics Engines. This single chip is based on 32-
nm process technology and provides an Intel Flexible Display Interface and a Direct Media Interface for
high-speed connectivity to the PCH. The CPUs also support Intel Hyper-Threading Technology (up to 4
cores, 8 threads) and up to 16 GB of DDR3 memory at 1066/1333 MHz for high overall performance.
Graphics
The Core i5 and Core i7 CPUs provide a refresh of the sixth generation graphics core, which features a
substantial gain in performance and a decrease in power consumption. The next generation Intel Clear Video
HD Technology includes a collection of video playback and enhancement features that improve the end
user’s viewing experience including Encode/Transcode HD content, HD content playback, and superior
image quality. Other graphics features of the Core CPUs include support for DirectX 10.1, OpenGL3.0,
DirectX Video Acceleration (DXAV), Advanced Scheduler 2.0, 1.0, and XPDM.
Memory
The ReadyBoard 910 features dual-stacked SODIMM sockets for up to 16 GB of DDR3 memory. The CPU
provides an Integrated Memory Controller (IMC) with DDR3 protocols and two independent, 64-bit wide
channels each supporting two unbuffered non-ECC SODIMMs, employing up to two device ranks per
channel.
NOTE
ADLINK Technology, Inc. supports only the features/options tested and listed in
this manual. The main integrated circuits (chips) used in the ReadyBoard 910
may provide more features or options than are listed for the ReadyBoard 910,
but some of these chip features/options are not supported on the board and may
not function as specified in the chip documentation.
This chapter does not include pinout tables for standard headers and connectors
such as PCI-104, Ethernet RJ45, SATA, USB, DB9 Serial, DB15 VGA, PS/2
Keyboard and Mouse, and PCIe Mini Card. See
specifications of these standard interfaces.
