New COM Express Module Based on Intel Core i5 and i7 Processors and Mobile Intel QM57 Express Chipset

New COM Express Module Based on Intel® Core™ i5 and i7 Processors and Mobile Intel® QM57 Express Chipset

Targeting medical imaging, communications, military-aerospace and test & measurement applications that require high levels of performance, RadiSys has released details of a new high-performance COM Express module that utilizes the new Intel® Core™ i5 and i7 processors and the Mobile Intel® QM57 Express chipset to deliver improved PCI Express bandwidth, graphics, storage and security features that directly impact compute intensive applications such as medical imaging, communications, military-aerospace and test & measurement.

The new Procelerant™ CEQM57 COM Express module delivers the highest performance available in a basic 125mm x 95mm form factor. It supports both single and dual LAN, dual channel DDR3 SO-DIMMs (non-ECC) and up to 8GB memory, SSDDR3 options, and includes expanded support for PCI Express, storage, graphics and audio. In addition, the CEQM57 module utilizes UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface), reducing OEM design and development time by enabling quick BIOS customizations, new features, and re-use of BIOS enhancements. Operating system support is available for Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Red Hat Linux and Microware Hypervisor.

Key Features
• Basic 125mm x 95mm COM Express module based on the Intel® Core™ i5 and i7 processors and the Mobile Intel QM57 Express chipset
• COM Express 1.0 Type 2 and Type 3 pin-outs ensures smooth upgrades
• SSDDR (Solid State Disk on SODIMM form factor) enabling up to 32 GB NAND flash memory or up to 8 GB DDR3 memory
• ECC memory option for critical memory applications
• Six PCI Express x1 ports, one PCI Express x8 port, and optional PCI Express x16 expansion port for increased peripheral performance
• Single or dual Gigabit Ethernet options

Shipping later this quarter, the new CEQM57 module will be available in a Type 2 and Type 3 pin-out, enabling customers to easily upgrade from their previous generation module. In addition, the CEQM57 module supports error-correcting code (ECC) for applications where memory integrity is critical.

According to Keate Despain, RadiSys Sr. Director, Commercial Business Unit, the latest, smartest and fastest Intel processing technology is enabling RadiSys to deliver the highest performance COM Express modules and offer low power module options: “The CEQM57 supports the Intel Core™ i7 processors at 2.53 GHz, 2.0 GHz and 1.06 GHz and the Intel Core™ i5 processor at 2.4 GHz. By releasing the CEQM57 COM Express Module in lock-step with Intel’s innovative new Cores and its Mobile QM57 Express chipset, RadiSys is enabling design engineers to save months of development time and reduce overall time-to-market.”
