New ARBOR Qseven CPU module with single-chip, quad-core Intel® Pentium® N4200 / dual-core Celeron® N3350 processor

the EmQ-i2401 Qseven module, based on the new Intel® Pentium® / Celeron® processors (Intel® codenamed Apollo Lake)

ARBOR Technology, a leading provider of embedded computing solutions, announces the immediate availability of the EmQ-i2401 Qseven module, based on the new Intel® Pentium® / Celeron® processors (Intel® codenamed Apollo Lake). Based on this new premium class low-power design, the robust Qseven modules consume, on average, just 6 watts while providing increased graphics capabilities and overall performance. Up to 12 graphics execution units can support up to three HD displays or two 4k displays.

The modules support Intel® Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions (Intel® AES-NI) set, which is more relevant than ever in practical application. This allows developers to offload particularly compute-intensive packaging and encryption routines of the well-known cryptographic algorithm AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) into hardware, thereby enabling high performance encryption without putting a significant burden on the CPU cores.

The EmQ-i2401 module comes in three different processor versions (Intel codename Apollo Lake) for high scalability. These range from the entry-level dual-core Intel® Celeron® N3350 with 1.1/2.6GHz to the quad-core Intel® Pentium® N4200 with 1.1/2.5GHz, each with a power consumption of 4 watts for standard applications (SDP = Scenario Design Power).

The Qseven module is equipped with up to 8GB DDR3L memory and up to 64GB eMMC 5.0 for mass storage. The enhanced integrated Intel® HD Graphics 505 supports DirectX 11.2, OpenGL 4.4 and OpenCL 1.2/2.0. The new high-performance, hardware-accelerated video decoding of H.265/HEVC and H.264/AVC, making it possible to stream 4K videos in real time.

Up to 4K (3840 x 2160 pixels) resolution is supported by either DisplayPort or HDMI interfaces. In addition the EmQ-i2401 module has a default 24bit LVDS interface. The Qseven specification includes an optional pinout which replaces the LVDS interface by two sets of Embedded DisplayPort signals.

.

Thanks to native USB 3.0 support, the EmQ-i2401 module provides fast data transmission despite low power draw.The modules contain two USB 3.0 Super-Speed ports and four USB 2.0 ports with Hi-Speed data transmission. Four PCI Express Gen2 lanes and two SATA interfaces with up to 6Gb/s enable fast and flexible system extensions. The Intel® Ethernet Controller i210 guarantees the best software compatibility. Completing the feature set are: one UART interface, I2C bus, LPC bus and SDIO for easy integration of legacy I/O interfaces and Intel® High Definition Audio for Pentium® N4200 / Celeron® N3350 processors.

The EmQ-i2401 will be officially released in May; please contact local sales support.
