02Core Capabilities

Introduction to XPedite7479

The XPedite7479 is a high-performance, low-power, 3U VPX-REDI, single board computer based on the 3rd generation Intel® Core™ i7 processor and Intel® QM67 chipset.

High-Bandwith Performance

With two PCI Express Fat Pipe P1 interconnects and two Gigabit Ethernet ports, the XPedite7479 is ideal for the high-bandwidth and processing-intensive demands of today’s military and avionics applications.

Intel® AVX

Floating-Point-intensive applications such as radar, image processing, and signals intelligence will benefit from the performance boost provided by the Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions (Intel® AVX).

Memory & I/O

The XPedite7479 accommodates up to 8 GB of DDR3 ECC SDRAM in two channels to support memory-intensive applications. The XPedite7479 also hosts numerous I/O ports including Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0, SATA, Dual-Mode DisplayPort, and two serial ports through the backplane connectors.

Backplane Slot Flexibility

The XPedite7479 can be used in either the system slot or peripheral slot of a VPX backplane.

Software Support

Wind River VxWorks, X-ES Enterprise Linux (XEL), and Linux Board Support Packages (BSPs) are available, as well as Microsoft Windows drivers.
