Product catalog summary
Introduction
Intel I/O processors are highly integrated microprocessors designed for high I/O throughput in storage, networking, and embedded communications applications. They feature high-speed PCI buses, memory controllers, and Intel XScale microarchitecture-based processor cores.

Specifications
The document outlines various I/O processors, including the IOP310, IOP321, and IOP315 chipsets, each with different specifications such as PCI/PCIe speeds, core speeds, memory types, and maximum memory capacities. For example, the IOP310 chipset supports a 66 MHz PCI bus and a core speed of up to 733 MHz.

Features and Benefits
Intel I/O processors offload I/O processing functions from host processors, providing high performance with low power consumption. The Intel XScale microarchitecture offers advanced designs for storage and communications, while integrated designs simplify board designs and reduce costs.

Development Tools
Intel provides a comprehensive set of development tools that support multiple tool-chains and operating systems, facilitating faster time-to-market.

Product Roadmap
Intel's I/O processor family includes the IOP310, IOP321, IOP315, and IOP331, each offering varying levels of performance and integration. The IOP331, for instance, offers up to 800 MHz speed and is suitable for demanding applications.

Applications
Intel I/O processors are used in various applications such as storage (RAID cards, SAN, NAS), telematics, security NICs, print/imaging, iSCSI, and control plane processing.

Contact Information
Intel provides contact details for its offices in the United States, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Japan, and South America for further information on their storage products.
