***New Embedded Processors to Be Foundation for Devices from
the Car to the Factory Floor
NUREMBERG, Germany
Feb. 22, 2005
Intel Corporation has announced that recently introduced
processors and a corresponding chipset are now available for
embedded market segments such as communications
infrastructure, industrial box and panel PCs and in-car
infotainment. This announcement demonstrates Intel's
commitment to provide modular standards-based building blocks
such as embedded processors to a wide variety of industries in
addition to providing cost-effective and faster time to market
solutions.
Intel's processors are used in a vast array of embedded
designs that require high-performance, low-power consumption
and extended lifecycle support. The new processors are some of
the highest-performing, lower-power processors for the
embedded market segments and the chipset features improved
integrated graphics. Developers designing with these embedded
processors and corresponding chipset will find they are well
suited for small form factor designs such as the new COM
(computer-on-module) Express form factor specifications that
deliver high performance and I/O density for embedded
applications.
The introductions today include the Intel Pentium M Processor
760 and Mobile Intel 915GM Express Chipset, Intel Celeron M
Processor 370 and Intel Celeron M Processor Ultra Low Voltage
373.
Siemens chose to design in the Intel Pentium M Processor 760
and corresponding chipset because of the engineering
flexibility and lower cost it provides for their rugged
industrial Simatic Box PC 627 and Panel PC 677 along with a
long product life cycle. They explained that the low thermal
envelope allowed a more compact cooling solution and the
integrated graphics functionality provided by the chipset
decreased system cost by not requiring the use of a graphics
card
E.E.P.D., which manufacturers single board computers, will be
upgrading its Envader IV series targeted for in-car
infotainment systems with the Intel Pentium M Processor 760
and Mobile Intel 915GM Express Chipset, providing in-car
computing and Internet access for business and entertainment.
E.E.P.D. currently uses Intel's embedded processors in the
Envader III series which provides in-car infotainment for BMW
M. The move to the new processor and chipset will improve
graphics and reduce cost by eliminating the need for a
graphics card.
Pricing and Availability
The Intel Pentium M Processor 760 is priced at $415 at 10,000-
unit quantities. The Mobile Intel 915GM Express chipset is
priced at $41 in 25,000-unit quantities. The Intel Celeron M
Processor 370 is priced at $131 at 10,000-unit quantities. The
Intel Celeron M Processor ULV 373 is priced at $158 at 10,000-
unit quantities. All these components are currently available
for purchase. A development kit based on the new chipset will
be available in early March.
