Embedded Features
Intel Core i7 Processor
and Mobile Intel QM57 Express Chipset
• Remote Boot Agent for all Ethernet ports
• Watchdog and general‐purpose timers
• GPIO (8 bits)
The embedded features of the SBC622 are described in Chapter 3: CPLD Control
and Status Registers.
The SBC622 incorporates the latest Intel chipset technology, built around a Core i7
Dual Core processor with integrated memory controller hub and a Mobile Intel
QM57 Express Chipset. Core i7 is the next generation of 64‐bit, multi‐core mobile
processors built on 32‐nanometer process technology. The major feature of the
Core i7‐ECC is the DDR3 memory and graphics controller integration with the
Dual Core CPU.
Features of the Core i7 Processor
• Intel Intelligent Power Technology allows processors to operate at optimal
frequency
• Intelligent performance on‐demand with Intel Turbo Boost Technology
• Multi‐level shared cache improves performance by reducing latency to fre‐
quently used data
• Hyper‐Thread Technology; two threads per core
• Streaming SIMD extensions 4.1/4.2
