Core ™ Duo Processor with Intel® E7520
Chipset Development Kit
Product Overview
The Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor and Intel® Core™ Duo Processor
with Intel® E7520 Chipset Development Kit provides an excellent
choice for developers of low-power communications and embed-
ded applications such as storage area networks, routers, virtual
private networks and telecommunications servers. It is populated
with the Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor 2.16 GHz with 667 MHz
front-side bus (FSB), providing bandwidth up to 5.3 GB/s. The Intel®
E7520 Memory Controller Hub (MCH) includes PCI Express* serial
I/O technology and DDR2 memory technology to help increase
I/O bandwidth and reduce system latency for data-intensive
applications.
The Intel Core 2 Duo processor 2.16 GHz and Intel Core Duo
processor 2.0 GHz incorporates the benefits of two high-perform-
ance execution cores with intelligent power management features
to deliver significantly greater performance-per-watt over previous
single-core Intel® processors. Designed on 65nm process technology,
these processors integrate two cores, along with many advanced
features, into one physical package. This development kit provides
a fully working system for product development with a validated
board platform for software vendors to test BIOS and operating
system software.
