2.2.1 SOM-5780
Advantech’s new SOM-5780 is the ultimate powerful SOM-Express CPU module
able to drive the most demanding embedded applications requiring high performance
CPU processing power & graphics support. With support for Intel® Pentium® M and
Celeron® M processors & enhanced SpeedStep technology, the SOM-5780 offers
developers a low power and scaleable solution that fits a range of needs. The Intel®
915GM Express Chipset for Embedded Computing, consisting of the Intel 915GM
Graphic Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) and Intel I/O Controller Hub 6-M (ICH6-M)
is an optimized integrated graphics solution with a 400MHz and 533MHz front-side
bus. The integrated 32-bit 3D graphics engine, based on Intel Graphics Media
Accelerator 900(Intel GMA 900) architecture, operates at core speeds of up to
320MHz. It features a low-power design, is validated with the Intel Pentium M and
Intel Celeron M processors on 90nm process, and supports up to 2GB of DDR2
533MHz system memory.
