Intel puts chips on embedded path
Feb 22, 2005 — by LinuxDevices Staff — from the LinuxDevices Archive — viewsIntel Corp. announced that it will now make three recently introduced mobile microprocessors and a companion chipset available to embedded system designers. The slate consists of the Pentium 760M, Celeron 370M, and ultra-low-voltage Celeron 373 processors, plus the Mobile 915GM Express chipset. The processors are “some of the highest-performing, lower-power processors” available for embedded market segments such as communications infrastructure equipment, industrial control gear, panel PCs, and in-car infotainment systems, according to Intel. The chipset, in turn, offers better graphics capabilities than its predecessor.
In 10,000-unit quantities, the Pentium 760M is priced at $415, the Celeron 370M is $131 and the Celeron 373 is $158. The 915GM chipset goes for $41 each in quantities of 24,000. A development kit based on the chipset will be available in early March.
