VAR-SOM-MX6 with i.MX 6QuadPlus - Up to 50% enhanced GPU and DDR performance
The i.MX 6QuadPlus processor delivers the highest levels of graphics performance and DDR bandwidth in the i.MX 6 family, enhancing the Vivante™ GC2000 2D/3D Graphics Accelerator performance by 50% compared to the i.MX 6Quad Processor. Combined with High Definition H.264 Decode and Encode, those enhancements establish the VAR-SOM-MX6 platform as a highly recommended solution for graphics-intensive and high-performance multimedia applications.
The enhanced VAR-SOM-MX6 is pin-compatible with all existing VAR-SOM-MX6 Core configurations Quad/Dual/DualLite/Solo processor, as well as with the VAR-SOM-SOLO/DUAL. This grants a full scalability on both iMX6 and Variscite’s upcoming iMX8 System on Module solutions.
This versatile SoM features up to 4x Arm Cortex-A9 up to 1.2 GHz per core, -40 to 85 °C temperature range, Dual CAN support and certified WiFi/Bluetooth module including optional Dual Band 2.4 / 5 GHz and MIMO, making it equally ideal for industrial applications and graphics-intensive applications.
