You’ve got to see this amazing demonstration! In this video, Emerson’s Solution Architect, Gene Juknevicius, gives you a live look at thermal performance in industrial PCs (IPCs).
In the real world, users often have to house their IPCs and displays in cabinets that are placed in environments that reach 60 or even 70o C. Conditions inside the cabinet are such that the IPC may receive virtually no airflow. But most CPUs are designed to protect themselves from heat. When they get too hot, they throttle down, reducing speed. The user may not know this is happening until their application becomes slow and sluggish and they miss their real-time performance goals.
Most manufacturers design their IPCs to a certain temperature range and their CPUs throttle down when that temperature is reached. They may even slow before they reach the top limit of their spec. This is not true at Emerson.
Emerson IPCs are designed to operate at fully specified speed up to the top limit of their spec and beyond. As this interesting demonstration shows, Emerson IPCs keep operating smoothly at top performance to 65oC and even at 70o under real-world conditions with no airflow in the chamber. Don’t miss this trip into actual thermal performance.
