Single Board Computer offes dual, dual-core CPU capability

WIN Enterprises, Inc., a leading designer and manufacturer of embedded controllers and platforms for OEMs, announces the MB-06048, a PICMG 1.3-style Single Board Computer (SBC) that can be powered by one or two single- or Dual-core AMD Opteron(TM) processors. The new SBC features PCI Express(TM) and PCI-X® 64-bit/133 MHz support, plus on-board video and 3-port LAN capability.

The WIN Enterprises MB-06048 provides OEMs with a powerful general computing platform in a compact package. A stackable HyperTransport(TM) technology-based extension card can support a second CPU to provide the dual, dual-core CPU configuration - four processing cores - for support of processing intense applications.

"The growing market for single board computers in medical imaging, military systems, and custom, unique form factors grounded on industry standards like PICMG 1.3 and increasingly requires a high-performance processor," said David Rich, director of 64-bit Embedded Business at AMD. "The combination of WIN's design and manufacturing expertise and the AMD Opteron processor gives these markets an easy-to-develop platform with industry-leading performance-per-watt."
