RadiSys, a provider of hardware and software platforms for IP-based wireless, wireline and video networks, has introduced Procelerant CEQM67, a quad-core performance Type 6 COM Express Revision 2.0 module.

The new offering is based on the 2nd Generation Intel Core i7 processor at 2.1GHz and Intel QM67 Express chipset.

The Procelerant CEQM67 provides quad-core processing in a basic 95mm x 125mm form factor COM Express revision 2.0 module.

The company said the COM Express Type 6 module, defined in the COM Express 2.0 specification, addresses the need for digital display interfaces (DDI) while offering a simple upgrade path for existing Type 2-based designs used in applications requiring higher processing, graphics and memory performance.

In addition, the Procelerant CEQM67 supports increased PCI Express lanes over COM Express 1.0, up to 12 USB ports, four SATA ports and three DDIs, including High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), DisplayPort and Serial Digital Video Out (SDVO) interfaces.

RadiSys product line manager Lorraine Orcino said they designed Procelerant CEQM67 to fit their customers’ needs for a COM Express product that transitions users’ platforms to the next generation processor, graphics and I/O requirements.
