DFI has announced the PIC-H61, a new Full Size PICMG 1.3 board in its cost-reduced Intel H61 product line. It is powered by the 3rd/2nd Gen Intel Core processor family paired with the Intel H61 Express chipset. PIC-H61 is cross compatible with the new 3rd Gen Intel Core processors built on 22-nanometer process technology and with the 2nd Gen Intel Core processors built on 32-nanometer process technology. This cost-effective board is powerful and yet energy-efficient.
The Intel HD Graphics 3000 engine integrated into these 3rd/2nd Gen Intel Core processors supports 6 Graphics Execution Units with dynamic turbo boost to accelerate video processing, and Intel Clear Video Technology providing advanced imaging capability for Blu Ray and other high definition video processing. Performance is further increased through the introduction of Intel Advanced Vector Extensions to the instruction set, providing acceleration of complex audio, video, and image processing. VGA and DVI-D graphics interface connectors provide dual independent displays: VGA display at rear I/O port supports up to 1920 x 1080 @ 60Hz resolution, and DVI-D (optional) supports up to 2048 x 1536 @ 75Hz resolution through a TMDS connector.

This new scalable desktop platform supports 2 DDR3 DIMM up to 16GB system memory and 2 Intel Gigabit LAN controllers for increased transmission speed. The Intel H61 Express chipset used on this Full Size PICMG 1.3 board delivers high performance I/O which provides 4 Serial ATA 2.0 ports with speed up to 3Gb/s, 10 USB 2.0 ports, 4 Serial COM ports, 1 parallel connector and 8-bit digital I/O connector for device controls. The PIC-H61 offers 1 PCIe x16, 3 PCIe x1 and 8 PCI expansion slots via gold fingers for additional expansion capability.

In addition, this new platform supports Intel Hyper-Threading and improved Intel Turbo Boost Technology, which enables each processor core to handle two instruction threads and dynamically increase the clock speed when all cores are not fully utilized. This provides increased performance over the previous generation platform for both multi-core and non-multi-core optimized application programs. The combination of Intel Hyper-Threading, Intel Turbo Boost improvements, and the new three-level cache subsystem ensures higher performance at reduced power consumption across a broad-spectrum of embedded processing applications.

The PIC-H61, a Full Size PICMG 1.3 Board with these features described as above, is an ideal choice for industrial computing applications, such as gaming machines, ATM/POS machines, industrial control automation, and digital signage use.
