Press Release - Curtiss Wright CHAMP-AV5 VME64x Dual-Core i7

Curtiss Wright has introduced its first high performance VME64x DSP (Digital Signal Processing) engine utilizing the new dual-core Intel® Core™ i7-610E processor. The new CHAMP-AV5 multi-processing board brings the floating-point performance of the Intel® Core i7 architecture to the VME64x form factor standard. Utilizing a pair of 2.53GHz dual-core Core i7 processors, the CHAMP-AV5 delivers performance rated up to 81 GFLOPs.

With a 17GB/s (peak) DDR3 memory subsystem connected directly to the processor, the Core i7 is able to maximize the throughput of its SSE 4.2 vector processing units. With 4Mbytes of cache and two hardware threads per core, the Core i7 processor can process larger vectors at peak rates significantly greater than was possible with previous AltiVec™-based systems.

Unitronix, the Curtiss Wright distributer in Australia, can work with customers to look at different commercial and custom chassis / systems solution for deploying the CHAMP-AV5 into the mission critical environment.
