Terminal Upgrade Boosts Performance

The new hardware for the QTERM-G75 terminals features a 400MHz Intel XScale core platform with 8 Mbytes of flash memory and 32 Mbytes of RAM, for a standard terminal, or a 200MHz Intel XScale core platform with 8 Mbytes of flash memory and 16 Mbytes of RAM for a power-over-Ethernet terminal. The QTERM-G70 terminals with TFT features a 200MHz Intel XScale core platform with 4 Mbytes of flash memory and 16 Mbytes RAM. Previous terminal hardware was based on a 92MHz MIPS platform with 4 Mbytes of flash memory and 16 Mbytes of RAM. Vendor benchmarks indicate that display update, font rendering and other CPU-intensive activities achieve a 2X to 10X increase in performance with the new hardware, measured as time to complete a given task.
