Built around the Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor (up to 2.2GHz) and Intel’s latest 965GM Express professional chipset that is part of the fourth generation of Intel’s Centrino notebook professional platform, the new Kontron ETXexpress-MC will offer optimized graphics features and will be the most robust and power-efficient COM Express solution.

The Kontron ETXexpress-MC will feature up to 800MHz FSB for outstanding performance. The clock speed can be dynamically reduced, as required by the operating workload. Thus, this module offers an improved fit for a multitude of embedded applications including those that are temperature and power sensitive. Additionally, the Kontron ETXexpress-MC design allows the processor to go into a deeper sleep state for even enhanced power efficiency. The chipset logic recognizes whether data is stored on the processor’s on-chip cache memory or in RAM. Consequently, the chipset does not have to wake up the processor to check the on-chip cache memory and unnecessarily draw on battery power. The inclusion of onboard TPM 1.2 ensures that the Kontron ETXexpress-MC will be a superior fit for applications that call for enhanced security options.
