A world technology leader with the highest performance in commercial processor technologies
Today’s embedded, aerospace and defense industries rely heavily on modern commercial technology to meet the demanding power, size, and performance requirements of today’s mission-critical systems. Intel’s tick-tock technology cadence, which alternates microarchitecture advancements with power-saving die geometry shrinkage, has produced continuous performance improvements with reliable, scalable processing options available to suppliers of SBCs and DSP engines for use in embedded control, processing, and compute-intensive applications.
Busting the Myth of the High-Power Intel Processor
There is a popular industry misconception that Intel processors draw more when compared to the power needs of Power Architecture and Arm processors. Intel processors boast the highest performance and efficiency.
As an Intel Technology Partner, Curtiss-Wright works closely with Intel to select only specific Intel processors supported within Intel’s embedded technology group. These processors enjoy long-life availability and meet the high-reliability requirements that Curtiss-Wright products demand for the long-term success of your programs.
Curtiss-Wright offers Intel processing modules in 3U, 6U, and mezzanine form factors meeting open industry standards such as OpenVPX, VME, and XMC. They are supported by a range of Operating Systems, Board Support Packages (BSPs), and drivers for high-speed board-to-board communications enabling your teams to bring applications to market quickly. Many of Curtiss-Wright's rugged mission computers incorporate Intel processors.
