National Instruments has announced the PXIe-8880 controller. Based on the Intel Xeon processor and with a system bandwidth of 24Gbyte/s, the device is said to deliver breakthrough performance for computationally intensive and highly parallel applications, such as wireless test, semiconductor test and 5G prototyping
The embedded controller features an eight core Xeon, up to 24Gbyte of DDR4 memory and 24 lanes of PCI Express Gen 3 connectivity to the backplane. This is said by the company to provide twice the processing power and bandwidth than previous generation controllers.
NI has also introduced the PXIe-1085 chassis; an 18 slot chassis with eight PCIe Gen 3 lanes per slot.
