Product Overview
The Kontron AT8050 AdvancedTCA processor board redefines the design possibilities with a new Intel®
microarchitecture processor, which offers greater efficiency and performance.
The AT8050 is a single-socket design with two featurerich processor options: an Intel Xeon Quad-Core L5518
(45nm) processor; or an Intel Xeon Six-Core L5638 (32nm) processor (BIOS 3.00 and highier). Both feature
an Integrated Memory Controller, Turbo Boost Technology, Intel® QuickPath interconnect, and Intel®
Hyper-Threading Technology (SMT). The Intel L5638 offers new hardware security features including the
Intel® Advanced Encryption Standard - New Instructions (Intel® AES-NI) which enables fast and secure data
encryption and decryption in AES-based communications cryptographic workloads, and offers a significant
increase in performance compared to the current pure-software implementations.
The overall performance of the Kontron AT8050 will handle even the most demanding storage, medical
imaging, security, and communications infrastructure applications.
With the available AdvancedMC bay, wireless/telecom equipment manufacturers can add multiple
functionality with an assortment of Kontron AMC modules such the Kontron AM42xx series of Intelligent
packet processor AMC modules, designed with the OCTEON Plus 5650 Network Service MIPS Processor from
Cavium Networks.
