Sumario:Modern experiments at hadron colliders search for extremely rare processes hidden in much larger background levels. As the experiment complexity and the accelerator backgrounds and luminosit y increase we need increasingly complex and exclusive selections. The FastTracker (FTK) processor for the Atlas experiment offers extremely powerful, very compact and low power consumption processing units for the far future, which is essential for increased efficiency and purity in the Level 2 trigger selection through the intensive use of tracking. We report on the test results of the first prototype of the AMBFTK board assembled with a few prototypes of the AMchip04.
