At the Embedded Systems Conference, Silicon Valley, Intel Corporation has released the 45-nanometre (nm) Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E8400 with 7-year lifecycle support for embedded applications.
To enhance security in embedded solutions, the processor also supports Intel Trusted Execution Technology.
Based on Intel’s revolutionary high-k metal gate transistor formula and manufactured on the company’s 45nm process, the E8400 processor is said to offer increased performance by doubling transistor density and increasing cache size up to 6 MB, which is a three-fold enhancement over the previous-generation Intel Core 2 Duo E6400. The Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E8400 is available to customers today and costs US$183 in quantities of 1,000. This security technology is designed to guard data within tamper-resistant virtualized computing environments and to protect against software attacks, viruses and other threats. The 45nm processor includes a Super Shuffle Engine that enhances Intel Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE) algorithms optimized for graphics and multimedia processing.
