The latest Intel® Xeon® C5500 Series (i.e. Jasper Forest) are a new generation of quad-core processors specifically built for high-performance computing in long-life embedded system applications. 

The Intel® Xeon® LC5528 offers some compelling industrial computer advantages when deployed on a dual-processor single board computer like the Trenton JXT6966.  Here are a couple of LC5528 processor parameters that you may find useful in your next rackmount computer / industrial server system design:

• Better Thermals – Maximum Thermal Design Power (TDP) is only 60W
• Better Thermals II – Maximum T_case excursion temp = 85° C with T_case nominal being 70° C
• Multi-Core / Multi-Thread Architecture – Quad-Core processor with Intel® Hyper-Threading results in eight processing cores being available for multi-threaded software applications.

These LC5528 processor advantages, coupled with the inherent Jasper Forest processor advantages of direct DDR3 memory interfaces and PCI Express® 2.0 links to the CPU enable your system to operate faster and consume less power than previous generation single board computer and processor technology.

We have a Trenton’s JXT6966 product video posted on You Tube that steps you through the capabilities of the JXT6966.  The video covers SBC:

• Performance benchmarks
• Available I/O for the system
• Alignment within a backplane
• Mechanical layout benefits
• System design advantages

Application information for the JXT6966 single board computer plus additional system integration details on our new BPC7009 and BPC7041 PCI Express 2.0 backplanes are found on the Trenton website.  If you prefer, Trenton’s TSC4500 is a complete 4U rackmount computer system already integrated with a JXT6966 SBC and a BPC7041 backplane with additional options available to meet your specific configuration requirements.
