Overview
The NI 8352 and NI 8353 are high-performance, Intel Core 2 Duo/Core 2
Quad processor-based, server-class controllers for use in PXI or PXI
Express systems. In addition to high computing performance, these
controllers provide high sustainable I/O bandwidth when bundled
with an NI MXI-Express kit. With standard RAID 0 configured hard drives
for Windows-based systems, these controllers are ideal for high-end
test and measurement applications.

Multicore Processor
NI 8352 and NI 8353 rack-mount controllers include the dual-core Intel
Core 2 Duo and quad-core Intel Core 2 Quad processors, respectively.
Multicore processors contain two or more cores, or computing engines,
in one physical package. These processors can simultaneously execute
multiple computing tasks, which is advantageous in multitasking
environments such as Windows XP, where several applications run
simultaneously. Two applications, such as NI LabVIEW and Microsoft
Excel, can each execute on a separate core at the same time, which
improves the overall system performance. Multithreaded applications,
such as LabVIEW, take full advantage of multicore processors as they
automatically separate their tasks into independent threads. A multicore
processor can simultaneously execute these threads.

Risers for x8 PCI Express and 32-bit PCI are included with the controller. You can use only one of them at a
time to connect a MXI-Express or MXI-4 remote control card.
