Tolapai - Intel all-in-one processor ...

Intel scheduled a release of new processor which combined north and south bridge in the same chip for the industry market in late 2007 ...

... one single chip is packed in 1088-Ball FCBGA, and its size is only 3.75cm x 3.75cm. As a Pentium M based processor, it could able to be adopted into any IA-32 operation system without any change to drivers and applications.

Tolapai build-in DDR2 memory controller, supporting different DDR2 speeds at 400 MHz, 533MHz, 667 MHz and 800MHz. Dual Channel and ECC capability are also included in this new processor. The highest memory capacity supported is 2GB.

Features of Tolapai include: Gigabit Ethernet (RGMII?RMII), IEEE 1588 Time Synch, 1MDIO, 133x GPIO, 2?UART, 2 SMBus, 2 Controller Area Network; CAN, 1 Sync Serial Port (SSP), 1 16Bit PCI, 5 PCI-E, 2 SATA 2.0 and 2 USB 2.0.

Toapai has 3 different speeds at 600MHz, 1.06GHz and 1.2GHz, and its TDP varies from 13W to 25W.

For example, it is possible to assemble a very low-cost computer based on the Tolapai processor and accompanied by a graphics adapter, a hard disk drive, an optical drive and a monitor, which may be an interesting option for developing countries.

In addition to targeting emerging markets, Tolapai may also be the first highly-integrated chip of its kind with roadmap extending to central processing units with integrated graphics capabilities.

Well, damn! :Q

Looks sweet!

As it turns out, Intel hasn't given up completely on the embedded space. Rather, they've just decided to take the slow road and let x86 do to embedded what it has done to workstations, servers, and supercomputers, i.e., leverage an ongoing march of process shrinks to encroach on a RISC stronghold one product at a time.

Whenever x86 creeps into a new market, it carries its massive existing base of applications, development tools, and trained developers with it on its back, like a snail. And every time it moves into a new space and picks up new tools and expertise, that base gets bigger (not so much like a snail). If you can fit an x86 part into your design budget, then you have instant access to massive economies of scale on the software side. This fact can potentially make using x86 cheap to use, if you can pull it off.

Any info on what the core is based off of? A variation of Merom?

I expect the performance and thermal output of a Pentium M.

 

[BrownTown]

sounds like its based off of Dothan, but who really knows.

The point btw is to be cheap and low power, not to be high performance.

it's power req is pretty impressive. probably because it's for embedded system.
