Two cores at the price of one offers the new innovative COM Express module from the CXB-GM45 family developed by MSC Vertriebs GmbH. The board is assembled with the first Intel Celeron processor with two cores T3100 Dual Core, showing considerable high computing and graphics power.

The Intel Celeron T3100 Dual Core CPU has a nearly two times better computing performance compared to the Intel Celeron 575 version. The 35W thermal dissipation power of the T3100 processor is only little higher than the 31W of the previous type. The special highlight: The price the new T3100 module is only little higher than that of the single core predecessor. The T3100 processor is clocked at 1.9GHz and integrates 1 MB L2 cache. Two dual channel DDR3 memory modules (two SO-DIMM sockets) with a total capacity of up to 8 GB provide a high computing performance and low power consumption on the board.

Depending on the customer’s requirements, MSC ships the compact CXB-GM45 COM Express™ platform in the “basic” format 125 x 95mm with different single-core and dual-core processors from Intel®‘s embedded low power Penryn generation, built in 45nm technology. The modules are available with the Intel® Celeron™ Dual Core T3100, the Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T9400, the Intel® Core™ 2 Duo P8400 or the Intel® Celeron™ 575 processor.

The CXB-GM45 modules are based on the Intel® GM45 graphics and memory controller hub (GMCH) and the Intel® ICH9M Enhanced IO controller hub. The Intel® GM45 chipset integrates the Mobile Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD including Intel‘s Clear Video technology and supporting DirectX 10 and OpenGL 2.0. Driving two displays is provided via the dual independent display mode. The maximum CRT resolution is 2048 x 1536 pixels.

To guarantee best connectivity, the COM Express™ platform offers eight USB 2.0 ports, an 32bit PCI bus, five PCI Express™ x1 lanes, one PCI Express™ x16 (PEG) interface and an 10/100/1000 Base-TX Ethernet interface. Four SATA-2 channels with up to 300Mb/s and an Enhanced IDE port (ATA/UDMA166) are available for data storage.

The powerful platform CXB-GM45 runs under Windows® Vista, Windows® XP (embedded) and Linux operating systems. Evaluation baseboards are available from MSC for development support and design-in. Moreover, MSC offers design services for application-specific motherboards.
