X-ES Adopts Intel's Ivy Bridge CPUs

Intel walked up to the stage and released more than 13 CPUs, despite what reports and rumors kept saying. 

Sure, there were thirteen Core i7 units, but there were also an i7 Extreme Edition and a bunch of Core i5 CPUs. 

Of all those, the Intel Core i7-3615QE (2.3GHz clock speed) and Intel Core i7-3612QE (2.1GHz) are of import here. 

Both of them are quad-core units that X-ES has chosen to use in its newest single-board computers (SBCs): XPedite7470 3U and XCalibur4401. 

The former is a VPX SBC, while the latter is a CompactPCI SBC. 

Extreme Engineering Solutions, Inc. (X-ES) has also promised to add support for the dual-core Ivy Bridge central processing units, whenever they become available. 

In the meantime, read the XPedite 7470 and XCalibur 4401 data sheets or their product pages (only the former has one, for now).
