The Xcore86 offers highly energy efficient, solid computing performance that requires no fan or heat sink. This results in longer battery life, simple case design, and enables the development of devices ideal for environments needing a sealed case. Such devices can be used in a wide temperature range of -40 to +85 C. Power consumption of Xcore86 is less than 2 watts at 1 Ghz.

While other x86 CPU designs focus on the laptops, desktops and servers, Xcore86 focuses on low powered, fanless devices. The Xcore86 is not designed to compete with Intel or AMD processors on speed. Instead, the Xcore86 offers the following advantages:

• One chip design
• Lower cost
• Easier to design
• More reliable
• More energy efficient

Multi-I/O integration (RS-232, LAN, USB, GPIO, PWM, SPI, LPT, I2C, etc are all in chip) and Flash for BIOS are built onboard.

This means:

• Less components
• Smaller device
• Better reliability

Sound and Video is built on Chip, ideal for:

• VOIP
• Thin Clients
• Kiosks
• Small devices with displays (handl held PCs, Webpads, Net Books)
• Net Tops
• Automotive computers (GPS based Navigation, Vehicle Dispatching, Messaging)
• Advertising
• Biometric based systems
• Any other x86 based solution requiring video and sound
