"CoreModule 550 provides a cost effective solution for system OEMs
currently using 486-based PC/104 modules looking to improve performance
without going to the higher cost and power consumption of Celeron(R) or
Pentium(R) III processors," said Joanne Mumola Williams, president and CEO of
Ampro.
Unlike the Via C3 processors that are rated up to 15 Watts TDP (Thermal
Design Power) and require a cooling fan, the Via Eden ESP processors selected
by Ampro for CoreModule 550 have ratings below 7 Watts TDP, making them a much
better choice for high reliability applications. With extended temperature
operation and low power Eden CPUs, thermal design is simplified for
applications that operate in harsh environments and even those requiring a
sealed, airtight enclosure.,

showcase many lines of new products at CEBIT 2006 (Hall 22, Stand B16) in
