Intel Debuts Five New Embedded Sandy Bridge CPUs

Nearly two months after the official launch of the Sandy Bridge architecture, Intel keeps updating its processor range with new models, the company just introducing five new embedded CPUs, two of them featuring an energy efficient design.

Making our way up in Intel's list, the first processor we encounter is the Core i3 2310E which features a dual core design, 3MB of L3 cache memory, a 2.1GHz clock rate as well as a 35W TDP.

Just as is the case with all the other models in the series, the 2310E support Intel's Hyper-Threading technology, but this is the only embedded processor to be released without Turbo Boost capabilities.

Looking at its specifications, the 2310E is a nearly identical replica of the Core i3 2310M although it carries a few improvements over the mobile processor as it adds ECC memory support and can access twice as much memory as the i3-2310M.

Next in line is the Core i5 2510E which is clocked at 2.5GHz (up to 3.1GHz thanks to Turbo Boost), packs two processing cores and has a TDP of 35W.

This is the only CPU to use the G2 socket and the only Core i5 chip to get ECC memory support.

The 2510E is almost identical with the Core i5 2515E, but the latter uses the BGA1023 packaging.

The last two processors in Intel's embedded lineup are the Core i7 2610UE and the Core i7 2655LE which are run at 1.5GHz and 2.2GHz and have TDPs of 17W and 25W, respectively.

Both models can access up to 16 GB of ECC memory, have extra PCI Express lanes available, and support a wide series of technologies including Turbo Boost, Hyper-Threading, the AVX and AES instructions as well as trusted execution and virtualization.

No details regarding pricing were made available, as these will probably be available only to OEMs. (via CPU World)
