Eching, Germany, September 16, 2008 – The new Kontron CP6016 processor board sets new performance-per-watt standards in the high-end 6U class for rugged RASM (Reliability, Availability, Scalability, Manageability) applications. Based on the high performance and low-power 45nm Intel® Core™2 Duo processor T9400, this latest Kontron board excels over the previous 65nm Intel® Core™2 Duo processor T7500-based board with up to 25 percent faster core speeds (2.53 GHz), 50 percent more L2 cache (6MB) and a 60 percent faster FSB (1066 MHz) with similar energy consumption. “The 45 nm Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor T9400 makes the Kontron CP6016 one of the most robust 6U CompactPCI® boards for RASM applications on the market,” explains Norbert Hauser, VP Marketing at Kontron. “One special value adding feature is the ability to increase system performance while maintaining stable thermal design power or reduce system cooling investments without compromising performance.”“Multi-core processors such as the 45nm Intel® Core™2 Duo processors and advanced technologies are completely changing the concept of threading in 6U CompactPCsystem environments without exceeding the thermal envelope ” says Joe Jensen, general manager, Intel Embedded Computing Division, “We expect the new Kontron CP6016 6U CompactPCI® board with the Intel® Core™2 Duo processor T9400 will help to address the requirements of security and communication applications.”
