Thales Computers has released a 400MHz version of its VCE405 Connectivity Engine that draws as little as 7W of power This represents a 50% gain in performance with the same power dissipation as its 266MHz predecessor

This 6U VCE405 is a versatile off-the-shelf CPU with two PMC slots for maximum I/O flexibility.

It offers a PowerPC solution where high computing power and low power consumption and dissipation are a concern.

Because of the board's low power consumption, it does not require massive heatsinks, making it ideal for applications such as flight control systems on helicopters, where a weight restriction exists for rugged electronic components.
