 After
announcing the availability of the Geode™ GX1-300 processor
(PCM-5820-G0B1) in our July
1, 2000 issue, Advantech is now phasing in this exciting
new SBC plus other PCM-5820 Geode™ GX1 processor boards.
With pilot runs scheduled for the end of October, here
is a summary of some of the product benefits and more detailed
ordering information.
Improving
Products For Users' Needs
Many gains
were made by utilizing the Geode™ GX1 processors. The GX1
processor provides the lowest power consumption for any x86 processor
at these performance levels. These processors also support most
popular web plug-ins and leverages existing software and hardware
investments.
- Added speed
- PCM-5820-G0B1 with GX1-300 provides great performance
and PCM-5820/L has a GX1-233 (upgrading the GXLV-200 and
GXm-233 processors previously used).
- Lower power usage and cooler operation
- PCM-5820 w/GX1-300 +5 V @ 1.5 A (typical)
- PCM-5820 w/GX1-233 +5 V @ 1.4 A (typical)
- Previous models using GXm-233 processor +5 V @ 3.0 A (typical)
- Smaller heat sink required because of decreased heat output
- Fanless operation
- More flexible options
- For example, LVDS is now completely optional, allowing
customers to better match cost to needs.
