TM700 User Guide - Upgrading Your System

General Information

!WARNING

The DC push-button on/off switch on the front panel does not turn off the system AC power. Also, +5vdc is present on the system board whenever the AC power cord is connected between the system and an AC outlet. Before doing the proce- dures in this manual, make sure that your system is powered off and unplug the AC power cord from the back of the chassis. Failure to disconnect power before opening your system can result in personal injury and equipment damage.

CAUTION

Operating your system with the side access panels removed can damage your system components. For proper cooling and airflow, always replace the side access panels before powering on your system.

WARNING

Avoid burns: If the system has been running, any installed pro- cessor and heat sink on the processor board(s) will be hot. To avoid the possibility of a burn, be careful when removing or installing components that are located near processors.

Contact your sales representative or dealer for a list of approved optional peripheral devices.

Static Precautions

An electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage disk drives, option boards, and other components. You can provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis ground when handling system components.

Electronic devices can be easily damaged by static electricity. To prevent damage, keep them in their protective packaging when they are not installed in your system.

TM700 specifications

The Intel TM700 is a noteworthy addition to Intel's series of high-performance processors, designed to meet the demanding needs of both consumers and enterprise users. One of its primary features is its impressive multi-core architecture, which allows it to process tasks efficiently by distributing workloads across several cores. This parallel processing capability is essential for modern applications that require heavy lifting, such as video editing, 3D rendering, and complex data analysis.

The TM700 incorporates Intel’s latest advancements in semiconductor technology, allowing it to achieve higher clock speeds while maintaining energy efficiency. Built on a state-of-the-art manufacturing process, this processor can operate at optimal temperatures, minimizing the need for extensive cooling solutions, which results in quieter operation and reduced power consumption.

Another key feature is the support for Intel's Hyper-Threading technology, which enables each core to handle two threads simultaneously. This effectively doubles the number of tasks the processor can manage concurrently, significantly enhancing multitasking capabilities and improving overall system responsiveness. With this technology, users can run multiple applications without a noticeable dip in performance.

The TM700 also supports the latest DDR5 memory, providing faster data transfer rates and improved memory bandwidth. This allows users to take full advantage of high-speed RAM, resulting in improved application performance and system stability. Additionally, with support for PCIe 5.0, the TM700 offers faster data paths for graphics cards and SSDs, ensuring that high-performance components can operate at their full potential.

Moreover, Intel's integrated graphics technology in the TM700 provides robust graphics performance, making it suitable for both casual gaming and multimedia tasks without requiring a dedicated graphics card. This is particularly beneficial for users looking for a balance between performance and cost.

Security features are also a significant aspect of the TM700, with built-in technologies that help protect data and enhance system integrity. Intel’s Security Guard Extensions (SGX) provide a hardware-based environment for sensitive applications, ensuring that critical information is kept safe from unauthorized access.

In summary, the Intel TM700 stands out with its powerful multi-core performance, energy efficiency, advanced memory and connectivity support, integrated graphics capabilities, and robust security features. It is an excellent choice for both power users and businesses that require a reliable and versatile processor to handle modern computing workloads.
