Intel Celebrates 30 Years in Embedded Market with Quad-Core Processor Launch

Intel embedded technology includes the Intel® Core™ microarchitecture processor, Intel® network processor, Intel® Flash memory and Intel® I/O processor. Through continuous innovation, Intel embedded technology has attracted more than 3,000 customers in 15 industries around the world, and is used broadly today in automobile information and entertainment devices, ATMs, information kiosks, wired or wireless communications infrastructure, printers and network storage systems, as well as factory and medical equipment.

Michael Chen, director, Embedded Sales Group, Intel Asia-Pacific said, "Before the advent of the personal computer, Intel entered the embedded market. Intel is devoted to providing extended life cycle support for technologies, silicon and platforms that drive this industry. By virtue of its 30-year experience in product technologies and industry application, Intel is committed to embedding more power into the application of customers, especial Chinese customers, in the embedded market to release its force and magnificence together with partners."

The quad-core Intel® Xeon® Processor E5335 and E5345 released on the conference boast a 2.0GHz – 2.33GHz clock speed, 1333MHz FSB, 8MB cache, 40W and 65W power consumption respectively, Intel® Virtualization Technology and Intel® I/O Acceleration Technology. Intel also introduced the new Intel® IP Network Server NSC2U for configuring the processors.

Larry Cheng, China Geo Sales and Marketing director of Intel's Embedded Sales Group said, "The embedded Intel® Xeon® processor 5300 series launched today is the first quad-core embedded processor. It adopts the advanced Intel® Core™ micro-architecture and its advent will inevitably drive the embedded application market to the quad-core age. Intel, again, introduced the best processor technology into the embedded market and provided customers with extended life cycle support. The move cements Intel’s leadership in embedded products and technologies in China. And the open, standard Intel® architecture processor will be applied to more fields."

30-year Innovation with Brilliant Achievements
Over the 30-year course of innovation and development, Intel has contributed greatly to the prosperity of the embedded market. Examples:

• Completed production line and total solution -- With the launch of quad-core Intel® Xeon® processor 5300 series, Intel further improves its production line of embedded processor, including Intel® architecture and XScale® technology emphasizing low power consumption and small size, application market targeting the power consumption of 15-75W system, Intel® Core™ 2 Duo focusing on scalable performance and low power consumption, Intel® Pentium®, Intel® Celeron® processor, application market targeting the power consumption of 50-200W system, quad-core and dual-core Xeon® processor emphasizing high performance and application market targeting the power consumption of over 200W system.
• Promote industrial standard and advance industrial ecosystem -- In order to provide the customers with world-leading embedded and communication platform, Intel has been committed to promoting the development of industrial standards, while closely cooperating with industrial standard organizations such as OSDL (Open Source Development Lab), IEEE802 Committee and PCI Express to provide the customers with open and standards-based platform. In addition, Intel attaches importance to establishing sound ecosystem, cooperating with ODM and Design House to provide perfect technical support and 5-7 year lifecycle support.
• Continuous innovation with the view to future -- Intel will bring more advanced technologies into the evolving embedded market. In particular, to meet customers' demand of smaller processor with higher performance/power ratio, Intel will integrate IA processor, MCH North Bridge Chips and ICH South Bridge Chips to launch the System on a chip with lower power consumption and smaller size.
