Performance

The AMC-X852 features Intel® Pentium M processors up to 1.4 GHz with 2 MByte cache. These processors, in conjunction with some of the fast XTX I/O extensions, will lead to new levels of system performance.

Low Power Consumption

The complete design is geared around low power consumption. The Ultra Low Voltage Intel® Celeron M 600 MHz variant is very well suited for mobile solutions. The Embedded BIOS offers ACPI battery support. Enhanced Intel Speed Step® Technology is supported for Pentium M versions.

Lead-free Design (RoHS)

Starting in July 2006 all electronic products need to be environmentally friendly. The AMC-X852 already fulfills these requirements today.

ETX® Standard

The AMC-X852 is based on the ETX® spec 2.7 and can easily be integrated into any existing ETX® design that is not using the ISA bus. In order to take advantage of the XTX functions you only have to consider the X2 connector signals, everything else remains the same.

Graphics Efficiency

The integrated Intel® Extreme Graphics controller with two independent pipelines features latest 3D, 2D and video capabilities. Supports up to 64 MByte frame buffer using Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT). It automatically recognizes almost every available fl atpanel display and sets all parameters accordingly. Displays can be connected using the LVDS interface, analog VGA interface or the DVO port.

Mass Storage

Two serial ATA® drives can be connected as fast mass storage devices. In order to support economical and robust CompactFlash cards, parallel ATA is also available.

Connectivity

Thanks to the six USB 2.0, 2x SATA®, two COM ports, PCI, I˛C, LPT,... the AMC-X852 offers more connectivity than most other computer modules.

Security

The AMC-X852 can be equipped optionally with a "Trusted Platform Module" (TPM). This TPM includes coprocessors to calculate efficient hash- and RSA-algorithms with key lengths up to 2,048 Bits as well as a real random number generator. Security sensitive applications like gaming and e-commerce will benefit also with improved authentification, integrity and confidence levels.
