Download slides from our October 25, 2011 webinar “Solving Next-Generation Intel Architecture Design Challenges – Signal Integrity, Power Distribution, and Thermal”
The convergence of new high-speed processor interconnects and network interfaces with ever higher levels of circuit density, memory speed, and integration results in a rapidly growing set of design challenges awaiting developers of next-generation IA (Intel Architecture or x86) products. With intense time to market pressures, developers cannot afford to let these challenges impact their programs.
Read more below and download slides from our October 25, 2011 webinar to learn how to tame the challenges of signal integrity on high-speed interfaces (DDR3, QPI, PCIe Gen2/3, 10-40Gb Ethernet), power distribution, and thermal design facing developers of latest generation embedded x86 systems.
