WIN Enterprises Announces Twin Quad-Core Intel Xeon-Powered SBC

WIN Enterprises announces the MB-06063, a server-class, PICMG 1.3-style SBC with a choice of twin-socketed Dual- or Quad-Core Intel Xeon Processors. The board features twin CPU sockets that accept Dual-Core Intel Xeon 5100 series (Woodcrest) or Quad-Core Intel Xeon 5300 (Clovertown) processors.

The MB-06063 provides robust I/O with support for 20 external lanes of PCI-Express and 6 internal lanes. The SBC also exploits the Intel 6321 ESB I/O Controller Hub for its ability to support a broad range of I/O options.

The eight or four processing cores, small form factor, and its excellent I/O positions the MB-06063 for use in intense computing applications and those with extensive I/O workloads such as medical & military imaging, high-end gaming, telecom, and cluster-based computing applications. Like all WIN designs, the MB-06063 can be streamlined or further augmented to meet exact OEM requirements.

Features:
- Twin CPU sockets accept Dual-Core Intel Xeon 5100 series or Quad-Core Intel Xeon 5300 processors;
- Northbridge: Intel 5000P chipset;
- Southbridge: Intel 6321 ESB I/O Controller Hub;
- Supports 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems;
- Semi-custom pinout supports PCI-X & 20 Lanes of PCI Express;
- Independent 1066/1333MHz system bus for each processor;
- Passive backplane;
- Optional integrated ATI X300 64MB graphics.
