Intel ® Core™ i7 Single Board Computers
PCIe/104 Rugged SBCs & Controllers

 
 

 

Description

The CMA34CR-series CPUs are low-power dual-core PC/104 single board computers with a PCIe/104 stackable bus structure. As a part of RTD's advanced PCI Express offering, these Intel-based CPUs are exceptionally suited for applications requiring performance-rich technologies. TPM (Trusted Platform Module) included for hardware-based cryptography. The surface-mount Type 2 PCI Express connectors enable users to stack multiple peripheral modules above and below the CPU. A 60GB onboard flash drive is standard.
