RadiSys Procelerant Z500 Atom-based COM

RadiSys announced its Procelerant Z500 Atom-based computer-on-module (COM) which is able to run Windows CE as well as Windows XP Embedded, and is meant to be used in battery-powered handheld devices. The Procelerant Z500 measures 3.4″ x 2.75″ and is just about the smallest COM I’ve ever seen without compromising on compliance with the COM Express standard’s pinout.

Other features include :-

• Display: LVDS up to 1366 x 768 pixel resolution, SDVO up to 1280 x 1024
• Networking: Gigabit Ethernet
• 8 x USB 2.0
• SATA
• Expansion: 2 x 1-lane PCI Express

The Procelerant Z500 works with Windows XP Embedded, Windows CE 6.0, and Linux platforms.
