TRENTON Technology Introduces PICMG® 1.3 Dual Multi-Core Processor System Host Board (SHB) Product Line Trenton's New MCX and MCG Series of SHBs Feature Quad- and Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processors and the Intel® 5000P and 5000X Chipsets Atlanta, GA – The new MCX/MCG system host boards from Trenton are SHBs with dual multicore processors and are now available in numerous configurations designed to expand the possibilities in demanding computing applications. MCX-series SHBs are server-class boards that provide multiple PCI ExpressTM links to option card slots and devices on a PICMG® 1.3 backplane. The MCG series offers graphics-class board configurations with native electrical support for x16 PCI Express video and imaging cards. The high-bandwidth/high-speed PCI Express (PCIe) links designed into the MCX/MCG boards are ideally suited to support a wide range of PCI Express cards, devices and bridges to PCI-X/PCI option cards on a PICMG 1.3 compatible backplane. The Trenton MCX- and MCG-series of system host boards provide various dual-core and quad-core Intel® Xeon® processor options. The dual-core options provide four execution cores on a dual-processor MCX or MCG. The Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor E5335 option provides up to eight high-performance cores per MCX or MCG system host board. These multi-core processing options are excellent solutions for the intense computing applications and extensive I/O workloads commonly found in high-end systems. “The processing power and configuration flexibility of Trenton’s new MCX/MCG product line is designed to give customers the best technology fit for their server-class or graphics-class PICMG 1.3 computing applications,” said Bill Bowling, Vice President & General Manager of Trenton’s Computer Products Division. “Trenton Technology customers can now utilize the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® E5335 processor’s breakthrough performance and energy efficiency in PICMG® 1.3 compute intensive embedded, storage, medical imaging and communication system designs,” said Joe Jensen, General Manager of Intel’s Embedded Markets Division.
The MCX/MCG products support an independent 1066MHz (dual-core processor) or 1333MHz (dual- or quad-core processors) front side bus for each processor. The new dualcore processors have 4MB of L2 shared cache, while the quad-core processors provide a 2x4MB L2 cache for a total of 8MB of L2 cache. The MCX SHBs use the Intel® 5000P chipset, and the MCG boards use the Intel® 5000X chipset. All boards feature a four-channel DDR2-667/533 FB-DIMM memory interface. The MCX/MCG system host boards support up to 32GB of system memory with a peak memory interface bandwidth of 8GB/s per channel. An MCX-series SHB provides two x8 PCI Express links and one x4 PCI Express link, while an MCG-series SHB provides one x16 PCI Express and one x4 PCI Express link on the board’s edge connectors. The SHBs support PCI Express link bifurcation to maximize the available number of PCI Express links on a backplane. The PCI Express links provided by the SHBs are capable of supporting communication to x1, x4, x8 and x16 PCI Express cards, as well as PCI/PCI-X option cards, via a PCI Express-to-PCI/PCI-X bridge chip on an SHB Expresscompatible backplane. Other MCX/MCG board features include six SATA/300 interfaces with RAID support, seven USB 2.0 connections, three 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet ports, on-board video and connection to an optional I/O expansion board for legacy I/O support.
Pricing and Availability All products are available now. Typical prices are: MCXT/MCGT – Dual processor SHBs $ 2,825 MCXI/MCGI – Single processor SHBs $ 2,595 Pricing and processor speed availability varies. Contact Trenton for the latest information on pricing discounts as well as volume and OEM purchase programs.
