Concurrent Technologies Plc Product Launch Latest Intel® Xeon® processors available on CompactPCI®

Concurrent Technologies Plc ("Concurrent"), a world leading specialist in the design and manufacture of high-end embedded computer products, announces the launch of a new CompactPCI® board, the PP66x/071.

The PP 66x family of CompactPCI boards is one of the first product ranges to feature the quad core 2.13 GHz Intel® Xeon® processor L5518 or the dual core 2.0 GHz Intel® Xeon® processor L5508, both of which were released earlier this week by Intel. The PP 66x family has one of the highest specifications available to CompactPCI users and is particularly suitable for processing intensive applications within the telecommunications, defence and homeland security market sectors.

Glen Fawcett, Chief Executive, Concurrent, commented:

"We are one of the very first companies to develop and launch a product based on the Intel® Xeon® 5500 server-class platform, thereby demonstrating our continued commitment to remaining at the fore-front in the critical embedded market. This Xeon® processor is considered to be the most significant introduction for Intel's server-class product line in nearly 15 years, offering a leap in performance and this enhanced performance is just what many of our markets want. We can now offer customers an even wider choice of processor boards ranging from the very latest in high-end processing power through to the newest in low power technology."

Steve Price, Marketing Director, Intel Performance Processor Division, commented:

"The L5518 and L5508 processors provide the performance, low power and robust thermal profiles required for many communications and embedded applications. New single board computers, such as the Concurrent Technologies family of 6U CompactPCI® boards, have the high performance memory, networking and storage interfaces to provide an appealing solution for processing intensive applications such as deep packet inspection."
