6 Introduction
1.5 Functional Description
Processor Support
The NuPRO-A331 is a single processor design for the latest Intel
Clarkdale (32nm) and Lynnfield (45nm) processors in LGA1156
socket (Intel® Core™ i7/i5/i3, Pentium® G6950). An integrated
memory controller supports dual channel 1066/1333 MHz DDR3
and integrated Intel® HD Graphics is supported on dual core
32nm (Clarkdale) processors. Direct Media Interface (DMI) and
Flexible Display Interface (FDI) provide connectivity to the Intel®
Q57 Express Chipset.
Intel® Q57 Express Chipset
The Intel® BD82Q57 Platform Controller Hub (PCH) combines
with the processor to provide a compact yet powerful 2-chip solu-
tion. Direct Media Interface (DMI) is the chip-to-chip connection
between the processor and PCH. Intel® Flexible Display Interface
carries display traffic from the integrated graphics in the processor
to the legacy display connectors in the PCH. The PCH supports all
other required interfaces including PCI Express, Serial ATA, USB
2.0, PCI, LPC, and SPI.
Dual-Channel DDR3 Memory
To meet the requirements of memory-intensive applications, the
NuPRO-A331 has a dual-channel memory architecture supporting
DDR3 1066/1333 MHz DIMMs. The key advantages of DDR3 are
the higher bandwidth and the increase in performance at lower
power than DDR2. DDR3 memory technology meets the require-
ments of the latest 3D graphics, multimedia, and network applica-
tion, and boosts system performance by eliminating bottlenecks.
Gigabit Ethernet
The NuPRO-A331 utilizes two Intel® 82574L Gigabit Ethernet
Controllers connected to the PCIe bus of the Q57 PCH.
Wake-on-LAN and PXE are supported.
