基于X86指令集的PC平台发展至今,一直都是CPU-主板芯片组互相配合的组合方式,如今,作为全球IC设计与个人电脑平台解决方案领导厂商的威盛电子,推出了一款新产品“Luke”,直接将CPU和北桥芯片封装在了一起。Luke将基于X86指令集的嵌入式平台缩小到了“巴掌大”的尺寸,在比CD盒面积还小的尺寸上集成了一台PC主机除了存储以外的所有功能。Luke集成了主频高速1G Hz的VIA den-N处理器,和威盛支持DDR400内存的CN400数字多媒体北桥芯片封装在一起,这样,原先的“北桥”便具备了集传统北桥芯片、CPU和显示核心在一起的“超级北桥”。另外,这样一块“超级芯片”、不用风扇也能正常运转。Luke可以通过1394、USB2.0,SATA等接口拥有当下最流行的周边和存储设备。Luke在今年3月旧金山举办的2005年嵌入式系统论坛中闪亮登场,威盛电子总经理陈文琦表示,威盛在X86平台上不断发展微缩系统与最具省电效益的整合技术,且并未局限于主机板/系统等后端,更是延伸到芯片层次的整合研发工作上;CoreFusion系列的Luke处理平台,正是威盛在嵌入式平台积极创新、持续领先的又一例证,也为当今的嵌入式市场提供最高等级的处理技术、最快的数字媒体和数据加密效能,让发展小型尺寸嵌入式设备的客户享受实质的效益。
PC platforms based on the X86 instruction set so far have been a combination of CPU-motherboard chipsets, and today VIA Technologies, a leader in global IC design and PC platform solutions, introduces a new product called Luke “, Directly to the CPU and Northbridge chip package together. Luke reduced the X86 instruction set-based embedded platform to a ”palm size,“ integrating all of the features of a PC host except storage beyond the size of a CD case. Luke integrated the VIA den-N processor clocked at 1G Hz and VIA CN400 digital multimedia Northbridge supporting VIA DDR400 memory, so that the original ”North Bridge“ will have a set of traditional Northbridge, CPU and display core Together, the ”Super Northbridge.“ In addition, such a ”super chip" can operate normally without a fan. Luke has the most popular peripherals and storage devices available today through 1394, USB2.0, SATA and other interfaces. Luke debuted at the 2005 Embedded Systems Forum in San Francisco in March this year, said Chen Wenqi, general manager of VIA Technologies, who said that VIA is continuing to develop miniature systems and the most power efficient integration technologies on the X86 platform, and is not limited to Motherboards / systems and other back-end, it is extended to the chip-level integration of R & D work; CoreFusion series of Luke processing platform is VIA innovation in the embedded platform, continues to lead another example, but also for today’s embedded The market offers the highest level of processing technology, the fastest digital media and data encryption performance, enabling tangible benefits for customers developing small form factor embedded devices.
