congatec lowers the price threshold for 64bit x86 computing
congatec has introduced highly cost-effective versions of its existing COM Express and Qseven modules as well as Mini-ITX boards. They are all equipped with the strategically low-priced, long-term available Intel Atom x5-E8000 processor. This 64bit quadcore processor significantly lowers the entry threshold of powerful x86 computing and, now also in terms of price, offers developers a true alternative to competing platforms based on ARM technolog...
ETX & XTX module life cycle extended until 2019
congatec has extended the life cycle of their AMD processor-based ETX and XTX computer modules at least until the end of 2019, extending the module availability from the usual 7 years to 12-14 years. The conga-ELX, conga-ELXeco and conga-XLX modules were launched in 2005 and 2007 with AMD Geode LX 800 500MHz processors. This announcement effectively doubles the standard availability of embedded x86 processor technology.
COM Express modules offer rich graphics & support HSA 1.0
congatec AG has introduced COM Express basic modules parallel to AMD's launch of its next-gen high-end embedded processors. The conga-TR3 modules with dual- or quad-core AMD Embedded R-Series SOCs offer not only a much more broadly scalable TDP from 12 to 35W over earlier modules and a significantly improved performance per watt but two added features: high-performance AMD Radeon graphics as well as full support of the HSA specification 1.0.
Powerful graphics capabilities define Thin Mini-ITX motherboards
congatec AG is to extend its industrial-grade Thin Mini-ITX motherboard portfolio to include graphics-rich conga-IA4 boards with 14nm Intel Pentium and Celeron processors (codenamed Braswell) and full Windows 10 support. Compared to their predecessors, the Thin Mini-ITX boards offer increased computing and graphics performance as well as support for up to three 4k displays.
COM Express Mini modules allow passive cooling
congatec AG extends its portfolio of credit card-sized computer modules by integrating the 14nm Intel Pentium and Celeron processors (codenamed Braswell) on COM Express Mini modules. The conga-MA4 module enhances performance density, however heat dissipation has been lowered to a SDP (Scenario Design Power) of 4W, enabling very compact, passively cooled system designs.
COM Express modules support up to three displays & 4k
congatec has announced the conga-TCA4, the company's first COM Express compact module based on the Intel Pentium and Celeron processors (codenamed Braswell). The robust COM Express modules consume just 4W on average while providing increased graphics capabilities and overall performance. Up to 16 graphics execution units can support up to three HD displays or two 4k displays and achieve a theoretical peak performance of 358.4GFlop/s.
µQseven modules pack performance into tiny footprint
congatec is extending its product portfolio for the most popular Qseven standard by now offering COMs in the 40x70mm sub-credit-card µQseven format. The first flagship module of this next-gen mini form factor is the conga-UMX6 with ARM Cortex A9-based Freescale i.MX 6 processors. It caters to applications in harsh environments, which require compact low-power designs, appealing multimedia and computing performance.
COM Express modules feature a 15W configurable TDP
Four COM Express compact modules have been introduced by congatec, parallel to the launch of the new 6th generation Intel Core processors. The devices are specially designed for challenging applications that demand high performance in sealed, fanless system designs.
Mini-ITX boards feature powerful graphics & low TDP
congatec has announced the expansion of its industrial-grade Mini-ITX motherboard portfolio with two highly efficient low-power conga-IGX variants that are based on the Gen 2 AMD Embedded G-Series SoC processor (codenamed "Steppe Eagle") and feature powerful SoC integrated AMD Radeon graphics.
