Processors

Intel® desktop processors deliver superb computing power, performance, and reliability at home and at work. Our notebook processors let you work and play in places you never thought possible. Our server and workstation processors provide enhanced scalability, power, and performance for robust multi-processing environments. And our embedded and communications processors combine outstanding performance with scalable, power-efficient processing for a wide range of embedded applications.

Intel® IOP341 and IOP342 I/O Processors

The next generation Intel® IOP341 I/O Processor and Intel® IOP342 I/O Processor deliver full-function IOP-based RAID in a flexible, open architecture.

The Intel® IOP342 I/O Processor is a high-performance I/O device incorporating two integrated, power-efficient Intel XScale® processors. The IOP342 divides the load between the two processors, ideal for situations that require a dedicated processor for separate applications or split functionality. This ability enables users to optimize and tailor different types of solutions for maximum performance. For example, RAID calculations or near real-time functionality can be dedicated to one processor, leaving the second processor to handle computing functions that have different performance requirements such as a user interface. Distributed processing of independent tasks greatly reduces the time and power required of each processor, and customizes solutions for maximum processor utilization.

Intel® IOP341/ IOP342 I/O Processors Product Brief

The next generation Intel® IOP341 I/O processor and Intel® IOP342 I/O processor deliver full-function IOP-based RAID in a flexible, open architecture. With either one (IOP341) or two (IOP342) power-efficient, high-performance Intel XScale® processors, these devices are ideal for solutions requiring embedded application flexibility and solution performance on a single chip.
