Intel® EP80579 Integrated Processor with Intel® QuickAssist Technology Development Kit for embedded computing

The Intel® EP80579 Integrated Processor with Intel® QuickAssist Technology development kit enables customers to create a new generation of embedded, storage, security and communications solutions. It utilizes a breakthrough system-on-a-chip (SOC) processor product line to deliver excellent performance-per-watt for small form factor designs. The fully pin-compatible SOC product line includes the Intel® EP80579 Integrated Processor and the Intel EP80579 Integrated Processor with Intel QuickAssist Technology.

This development kit is a highly configurable platform that enables evaluation of Intel® QuickAssist Technology. It can also be used to evaluate general embedded applications that don't require the effective performance boost of integrated acceleration.

This SOC product line delivers a significant leap in architectural design, providing an outstanding combination of performance power efficiency, footprint savings and cost effectiveness compared to discrete, multi-chip solutions. The single-chip design includes an Intel® architecture complex based on the Intel® Pentium® M processor, integrated memory controller hub, integrated I/O controller hub, and a wide range of I/O for flexible design options. It features PCI Express*, Gigabit Ethernet, High Speed Serial¹ (HSS) ports for TDM or analog voice connectivity, security accelerators for bulk encryption, hashing and public/private key generation, and data path acceleration.

Utilizing the Intel software supporting Intel QuickAssist Technology, users can effectively boost performance by offloading key security or communications functionality and conserving valuable CPU cycles.
