Current computing platforms from mobile devices to servers are becoming unsustainable. Power consumption is an issue whether the product is battery powered or not. Pin-point custom hardware solutions are not extensible, and are increasingly becoming “throw away”, with ever shorter product life cycles.

To meet new social and market realities, manufacturers must adopt sustainable computing technologies to increase hardware life and reduce power consumption across the board.

Boston Circuits’ gCORE processors provide a platform that can be leveraged across product lines and product generations, allowing customers to deliver more value in software and services. Intelligent power saving features reduce power consumption whether the device is fully running, standing by, or partially running. At Boston Circuits’ we are committed to delivering processing solutions for a sustainable computing future.

Boston Circuits’ gCORE intelligent multi-core processors are ideally suited for a wide range of embedded computing applications; including home entertainment, networked office equipment, and in the future, servers, network infra-structure, and mobile devices.

Initially, Boston Circuits is focusing on home and office multimedia applications. Products such as digital multi-function devices, color laser printers, networked displays and projectors and digital signage systems all require concurrent processing of connectivity, media processing, and Internet applications such as Web browsers/servers and Java. Digital home electronics are creating markets for media centers, media servers, and networked displays that can support TV, Internet, and gaming content. These devices have similar requirements. In addition, all these devices have a need to reduce both active and standby power consumption.

The gCORE processor family is uniquely positioned as the first general purpose embedded processor that can meet the needs of next generation home and business multimedia devices.
