Trenton Technology (Atlanta, GA) offers the MCX/MCG system host boards with dual multi-core processors in numerous configurations for demanding computing applications. MCX-series boards are server-class boards that provide multiple PCI Express™ links to option card slots and devices on a PICMG® 1.3 backplane.

The MCG series offers graphics-class board configurations with native electrical support for x16 PCI Express video and imaging cards. The highbandwidth/ high-speed PCI Express (PCIe) links designed into the boards are suited for a range of PCI Express cards, devices, and bridges to PCI-X/PCI option cards on a PICMG 1.3-compatible backplane. The boards provide dual-core and quad-core Intel® Xeon® processor options. The dualcore options provide four execution cores on a dual-processor MCX or MCG. The Quad-Core E5335 option provides up to eight cores per board. The boards support an independent 1,066-MHz (dual-core processor) or 1,333-MHz (dual- or quad-core processors) front side bus for each processor. The boards support up to 32 GB of system memory with a peak memory interface bandwidth of 8 GB/s per channel.
