康佳特 COM Express Type 10 嵌入式系統
German module expert congatec presents a small COM Express Computer-on-Module (COM) in the Mini form factor. Equipped with the new Intel Atom and Intel Celeron processors (codename Bay Trail) and thanks to their low power draw, the modules are ideal for x86-based mobile and semi-stationary applications in medical technology and industrial automation.The conga-MA3E now offers designers the safety and security of error correction code, often referred to as ECC memory, on a COM Express Mini Type 10 module.
Previous Atom processor generations are valued for their power efficiency, but scorned for their poor performance. This is little wonder; the microarchitecture has barely changed since the introduction of the Silverthorne architecture. Without a tick-tock model (alternating annual updates of microarchitecture and manufacturing technology) as adopted for the Core i series processors, updates have so far been limited to just a few extensions (Intel64, dual core, hyperthreading, HD-capable graphics) and adjustments to the manufacturing architecture. The poor performance of the previous graphics processor, missing features such as out-of-order execution and the absence of a turbo mode led to an ever greater distance to the more powerful models of the Core i series, and dwindling competitiveness in the face of the growing competition from ARM processors.
