< Enhanced Intel® Speedstep® Technology
< Intel® Turbo Boost Technology
< Dual Core Multiprocessing
< Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT)
< Intel® 64 Architecture
< Refresh of 5th generation graphics core with 12 Execution Units
Available processors:
< Core™ i7-610E • 2.53GHz • 4MB L3 Cache • 35W TDP • 500/766MHz Graphics
< Core™ i7-620LE • 2.00GHz • 4MB L3 Cache • 25W TDP • 266/566MHz Graphics
< Core™ i7-660UE • 1.33GHz • 4MB L3 Cache • 18W TDP • 166/500MHz Graphics
< Core™ i7-620UE • 1.06GHz • 4MB L3 Cache • 18W TDP • 166/500MHz Graphics
Chipset Mobile Intel® 5 Series Chipset (Codename Ibex Peak):
QM57 Express Chipset Platform Controller Hub (PCH) with
< 8 PCI Express root ports at 2.5Gbps
< 6 x SATA 3Gbps
< Intel® Matrix Storage Technology (RAID 0, 1, 5, 10)
< High Definition Audio
< 14 x USB (2 EHCI controllers)
< Integrated GbE MAC
< iAMT
< Unified SPI Flash support
< 3 Digital Display Interfaces (DisplayPort, SDVO, HDMI)
< VGA interface with integrated 350MHz RAMDAC (resolution up to 2048x1536x24@75Hz)
Memory (RAM) < Maximum memory capacity of 8GB DDR3 up to 1066MHz
< 512Mb, 1Gb, 2Gb, [4Gb] technologies for x8 and x16 devices
< Channel 0 populated as directly soldered DDR3 devices (Memory Down)
< Channel 1 provided as 204-pin SODIMM socket to carry DDR3 module PC3-8500
< Dual channel symmetric – memory addresses interleaved for increased performance
(SODIMM module size must match Memory Down size)
< Intel® Flex Memory Technology (dual channel interleaved mode with unequal memory
population) - memory sizes maybe unequal in both the channels
< Dual channel asymmetric – memory sizes may differ, including no memory module
populated in the SODIMM socket (single-channel)
Video < Concurrently operation of two monitors with resolutions up to 2560x1536 pixel 16M
colours @60Hz refresh rate (DisplayPort), up to 1600 x 1200 pixel 16M colours @60Hz
(DVI-D on side boards like CCO-CONCERT)
< Dual screen capable (one display attached to the front panel DisplayPort connector, the
other to a digital display interface provided by a side board)
< Front panel option: D-Sub (female HD15) VGA connector available, replaces DisplayPort
connector
< Mezzanine option: Secondary DVI-D connector at mezzanine card front panel allows for
dual digital flat panel operation, suitable mezzanine modules e.g. CCH-MARIACHI, CCI-
RAP, CCJ-RHYTHM, CCO-CONCERT. Side boards providing a 2nd DisplayPort are projected
