COM Express module boosts computing and graphics with Intel processors
Expanding the COM Express portfolio available from Portwell, the PCOM-B657VGL COM Express 3.0 Type 6 basic module features 11th Generation Intel Xeon, Core and Celeron processors (formerly Tiger Lake-H) with integrated AI/DL instruction sets and Gen 12 graphics.
The COM Express Type 6 basic module is powered by 11th Generation Intel Xeon W-11000E, Core i3 / i5 / i7 and Celeron processors and integrated high performance Intel UHD graphics to provide up to 65 per cent higher multi-thread computing performance and up to 70 per cent faster graphic performance with the support of PCIe x16 Gen 4 feature, compared to its predecessor.
It has up to eight cores / 16 threads with 45W / 35W, and 25W TDP, industrial use condition and ECC support. The PCOM-B657VGL can be used in mission critical use conditions and AI edge computing applications in industrial automation, machine vision, communication, IoT, edge computing, medical equipment, transportation, automated test equipment, advised Portwell. It is also suitable for graphic-intensive applications including gaming, digital signage and smart retail.
The module measures 125 x 95mm and includes dual channel DDR4 ECC / Non-ECC SO-DIMM 3200MHz up to 32Gbyte per DIMM, quadruple independent displays with selectable options—VGA, HDMI, LVDS/eDP and DisplayPort support for up to 8K resolution, four USB 3.2 Gen 2, eight USB 2.0, four SATA III, one PCIe Gen 4 x16 and eight PCIe Gen 3 x1 ports. A serial I/O supports 8-bit GPIO, I²C, SMBus and UART, there is also one 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet with integrated Intel time sensitive networking (TSN) enabled to reduce latency, on-board TPM 2.0 for security, and industrial operating temperature range of -40 to +85 degrees C and AT / ATX mode.
The PCOM-B657VGL features the latest 11th Generation Intel Core and Xeon W-11000E processors with Willow Cove 10nm++, up to 8C/16T to deliver faster single-thread and multi-tasking compute-intensive applications for workload consolidation.
Based on the integrated Intel UHD graphics equipped with up to 32 execution units (EUs), the PCOM-B657VGL offers twice the transcode performance increase compared to predecessor modules, said Portwell. It also features the PCIe Gen 4 x16 on embedded x86 platform which doubles the data transfer rates over PCIe Gen 3 for higher bandwidth, lower latency, and lower power. This helps to extend bandwidth to external PCIe graphic card for AI and AIoT applications, added the company.
Portwell provides computer-on-module (CoM) products and design for a wide range of applications and requirements from system integrators, offering computer hardware design, flexible and quality manufacturing.
