Revolutionize the way you work, live and play with higher performance and more power. The XPC Prima P2 3800 delivers a range of multi-core processor options including the latest Intel 45nm processors. Multi-core processors allow your system to split tasks between separate processor cores so more is done in less time. With 45nm technology, system efficiency is further enhanced – experience serious performance with 20% improvement in speed at zero increase in power requirements. Another sweet advancement is the move to PCI Express 2.0 which doubles the bandwidth of current PCI Express.
Optional Intel ® Core2 Duo Extreme QX9650: 45nm Power
New PCI Express 2.0 X16 Interface The new PCI Express 2.0 specification doubles the data transfer bandwidth from PCI Express 1.1. It has theoretical bandwidth of up to 8 GB/s per direction for 16 lanes of data between the motherboard and the card. Designed to support cutting-edge PCI Express graphics, the XPC Prima P2 3800 has been tested compatible with the latest high-performance graphics cards
Built-in PCI Express Mini Card Slot PCI Express is the open standards- based successor to PCI and its variants for server- and client-system I/O interconnects. Unlike PCI and PCI-X, which are based on 32- and 64-bit parallel buses, PCI Express uses high-speed serial link technology similar to that found in Gigabit1 Ethernet, Serial ATA (SATA), and Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS). PCI Express reflects an industry trend to replace legacy shared parallel buses with high-speed point-to-point serial buses.
Supports Optional Intel® Turbo Memory* Intel Turbo Memory is a new primary PC component, along with the CPU, chipset, and system memory. It caches large amounts of frequently used data for faster access by the processor. This decreases the need for hard-disk access, saving both time and power, which equates to increased performance and energy efficiency.
That's good news for users who run data-intensive software like media applications. It's also a good match to the substantial system requirements to load and run Windows Vista.
Intel Turbo Memory is a single solution that accelerates data transfer both to and from the processor. Other commercially available products support only one-way data caching.
Up To 8GB of DDR2 Memory Intel’s multi-core architecture is based on mobile technology. Because of that Intel multi-core processors consume very little power and generate very little heat. At the heart of multi-core processors is a 1333 MHz front-side bus for blistering fast communication with the system memory and video card. The P2 3800 is also paired with DDR2 667/800 (OC to 1066 MHz) system memory for an unbeatable performance combination. *64 bit OS required for the 8GB memory
Biometric Fingerprint Reader* Fingerprint biometrics is a convenient and secure way to protect your information.With an added a layer of security protection through the integrated biometric fingerprint reader, you can keep your digital identity and data more secure and no longer worry about having to memorize for memorizing multiple passwords.
*Available on Windows XP/Vista 32-bit OS only.
80 PLUS® Certified Power Supply The 80 PLUS ® performance specification is a standard which requires power supplies in computers and servers to be 80% or greater energy-efficient. This makes an 80 PLUS® certified power supply at least 33% more efficient than current power supplies.
What are the benefits of an 80% efficient power supply? The 80% efficient power supply offers a range of potential rewards which benefit you financially while helping the environment by reducing power consumption:
How is an 80% efficient power supply different from a traditional power supply? An 80% efficient power supply is at least 80% efficient at 20%, 50%, and 100% loads whereas current power supplies range from 65-75% efficiency.
80% efficient power supplies are designed with active power factor correction (PFC). Active power factor correction uses an active circuit to help current and voltage correlate with each other. When this happens, apparent power and real power approach each other. Apparent power is the current drawn by a system, whereas real power is the current actually available for use by the system. If they are equal, then the power factor is 1.
A .9 PFC means that 90% of apparent power is actually transferred to available real power. Power supplies that aren't power factor corrected tend to cause unpleasant variations in AC voltage that can affect or even damage other equipment on the same circuit.
“Well-built, easy to assemble given its tight quarters, relatively quiet, and capable of using cutting-edge components, the SX38P2 is a great foundation for a compact—but high-performance—computer.”
