Transitioning to COTS solutions
So long old friends… (PCI, ISA, VGA)
Replacing legacy / out dated technology
Hello new ones...(PCIe, LPC, DP, HDMI )
Faster multicore performance clock speeds up to 2.66GHz x2
More I/O options e.g. USB 3.0, SATA 3. PCIe Gen 2
Smaller physical footprint
Low power options - Many dual cores are less than 20W TDP
Better performance per watt

COTS Products Using Multicore:
Benefits: Workload consolidation through multicore CPUs
Heterogeneous Core solutions CPU + GPU
Workload leveling within the module – multiple threads
Component reduction increases performance: no inter-component latency
Frees up PCB real estate allowing for additional features
Cost reduction – every dollar counts
Multiple environments thanks to virtualization
Improves application security
