VPX3-1258 3U OpenVPX Intel Core i7 Haswell SBC

This product is not recommended for new designs. Please see the VPX3-1260 for a suitable substitute.

The VPX3-1258 from Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions is a high performance Single Board Computer (SBC) featuring the 4th Gen Intel Core i7 (Haswell) processor. Pin-compatible with our previous generations of Intel SBCs, the VPX3-1258 offers the highest performance Intel processing in the smallest 3U form factor.

The Intel Core i7 processor offers Quad-Core (8-thread) performance at 2.4 GHz. With up to 16 GB of dual-channel high-speed ECC-protected DDR3 memory, the VPX3-1258 SBC provides up to 25.6 GBps memory throughput, maximizing the capabilities of the processor. The processor also features AVX and AVX2 SIMD extensions, accelerating math-intensive algorithms. The Intel Core i7 processor includes an enhanced Intel HD Graphics 4600 GPU, offering discrete GPU performance with OpenGL for graphics-intensive applications, and also serving as a 20-core GPGPU with performance up to 320 GFLOPS with OpenCL support for data processing-intensive applications.

With up to 32 GB of high-speed SATA flash memory, the VPX3-1258 3U VPX Intel Core i7 SBC is ideal for handling complex applications with demanding sensor processing requirements, or high-speed data processing, logging and storage needs.

The VPX3-1258 Haswell SBC also features high-speed PCIe Gen3 connectivity. The VPX backplane supports 8-lanes of configurable PCIe fabric, offering NTB and powerful DMA capabilities. A local XMC mezzanine site supports an independent 8-lane PCIe Gen3 bus directly to the processor. These features make the VPX3-1258 an ideal building block when architecting systems requiring processor expansion or when connecting multiple processor boards together to create a high performance embedded system for ISR processing.

The VPX3-1258 3U OpenVPX Intel Core i7 SBC is supported with an extensive suite of industry-standard operating systems such as Linux (Fedora and RHEL), VxWorks, and Windows WES7.
