The VX 405/04x family of VME64x single-board computers (SBCs) integrates the latest low-power, dual-core processors from Intel: the 1.66-GHz Intel Core Duo L2400 processor and the higher-performance 2.0-GHz Intel Core Duo T2500 processor. With these processors, Concurrent Technologies' RoHS-compliant boards will be able to ensure high-performance processing. The VXS switched serial standard VITA 41.3 is optionally supported to provide fast data transfer between other compatible boards in the system.

Both the 2.0-GHz T2500 (in a socket) and the 1.66-GHz L2400 (soldered) support 2 Mbytes of L2 cache (shared between the cores). By using appropriate operating systems and applications software, a computing performance increase of up to twice an Intel Pentium M is achievable, claims Concurrent.
