Enhanced Thin Client Platforms

The rise of graphics-rich, interactive embedded applications—such as digital signage, gaming, retail POS, transaction and educational terminals—is fueling demand for high-performance, energy-efficient embedded systems. These systems must behave much like a typical embedded platform while delivering features often expected from a rich desktop system. The full complement of requirements includes: high compute power, wireless connectivity, energy-efficient operation, rich graphics, remote manageability and a fanless design.

New low-power, high-performance Intel® architecture processors and chipsets—such as the Intel® Atom™ processor and Mobile Intel® 945GSE Express Chipset—are ideal for use in such "enhanced thin client" platforms. Intel is collaborating with members of the Intel® Embedded and Communications Alliance to design platforms for these environments that can run highly interactive and visually compelling applications such as dual-independent display, touch-screen operation, high-definition audio and graphics.
