VPX3-1220

The VPX3-1220 from Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions is a high-performance single board computer (SBC) featuring the 7th Generation Intel Kaby Lake Xeon processor. Pin-compatible with our previous generations of Intel SBCs, the VPX3-1220 offers powerful Intel processing in the small 3U form factor and is specifically designed with low-power technologies to meet today’s size, weight, and power (SWaP) challenges.

The Intel Xeon processor offers quad-core (8-thread) performance at up to 2.2 GHz. With up to 32 GB of dual-channel, high-speed ECC-protected DDR4 memory, the VPX3-1220 provides up to 34 GB/s memory throughput, maximizing the capabilities of the processor. The processor also features AVX and AVX2 SIMD extensions, accelerating math-intensive algorithms. The Intel Xeon processor includes an enhanced Intel HD Graphics P630 GPU, offering Gen 9 discrete GPU performance with OpenGL for graphics-intensive applications. It also serves as a 24-core GPGPU, with performance of up to 403 GFLOPS and OpenCL support for data processing-intensive applications. The Kaby Lake processor also has dedicated hardware codec support for H.264/H.265/HEVC, accelerating media-intensive processing for up to 4K image streams.

The VPX3-1220 is designed for lower-power applications with moderate to high-performance requirements and features an E3-1505L v6 25W Xeon processor at 2.2 GHz. Turbo operation increases performance up to 3.0 GHz. With up to 32 GB of high-speed SATA flash memory and 512 KB user NVRAM, the VPX3-1220 is ideal for handling complex applications with demanding sensor processing requirements, or high-speed data processing, logging and storage needs. Users can add a Curtiss-Wright XMC-554 storage mezzanine for up to 2 TB of additional storage in a single slot.
