The Procelerant CEGM45 targets applications that require fast processing and networking, large storage and memory capacity, and low power consumption, says Radisys. Examples are said to include medical and machine imaging, test and measurement, and communications devices.

The 3.7 x 4.9 inch (95 x 125mm) module is based on Intel's newly shipping Core 2 Duo T9400 processor (code-named "Penryn"). The processor supports 47 of Intel's 54 SSE4 SIMD (single instruction, multiple data) instruction enhancements, which are said to enhance the performance and power-efficiency of mobile multimedia, 3D, and gaming applications.

The T9400 is paired with the new Mobile GM45 Express chipset, which is said to offer memory bus speeds in excess of 1GHz. The Radisys module supports the T9400 with 6MB cache, as well as up to 8GB DDR3 memory in dual channels, each of which can support up to 4GB.

The CEGM45 is equipped with a MicroSD socket, four SATA ports, eight USB 2.0 ports, and single or dual gigabit Ethernet. RadiSys provides custom services including "carrier concept definition and design, carrier schematic reviews, BIOS customization, and thermal design," says the company.

  • PCI -- 1 x PCI 2.3-compliant 32-bit, 33MHz bus
  • Networking -- 1 x 10/100/1000 BaseT (a second port is optional)
  • USB -- 8 x USB 2.0
  • Audio -- "High Definition" audio; speaker out
  • Other features -- LPC bus, SMBus, I2C, 8 x GPIO
  • Power -- +12 power rail, primary input; ACPI 3.0
