DAYTON, Ohio — NCR Corp. says it is now offering Intel dual-core processor technology within its ATM and point-of-sale solutions.
According to a news release, newly ordered ATMs will feature the dual-core processors, with upgrade kits available for existing NCR Personas ATMs.
Using the Intel processor technology within the ATM casing can provide up to 40 percent faster processing capacity with enhanced power savings, NCR says. The company collaborated with Intel to implement the new technology across NCR's broader range of products, including its next generation POS terminal, the NCR RealPOS 80XRT, which was introduced earlier this year.
The enhanced electrical efficiency supports cooler and quieter systems, while enabling the transfer of power only to those areas of the processor that need it, thereby ensuring that the terminals operate more efficiently. The built-in Intel Smart Cache also are touted for providing enhanced performance.
"The market has quickly recognized the value of the new dual-core technology in providing enhanced power savings while still maximizing performance, scalability and investment protection for the future," said Alan Chow, NCR's chief technology officer. "Leading financial institutions and retail businesses worldwide are seeking ways to decrease carbon footprints and conserve resources, while enhancing the efficiencies of technologies and processes within their reach. The energy savings now available by integrating dual-core technology within NCR ATMs and RealPOS solutions is just one of the ways NCR is helping our customers achieve a vision of sustainability."
