Germany’s Congardt, a leading provider of embedded and edge computing technologies, announced the launch of four high-end COM-HPC computer modules based on 14th-generation Intel Core processors (codenamed Raptor Lake-S Refresh). These modules are an extension of the existing conga-HPC/cRLS computer modules and set new records in industrial workstations and edge computing. Thanks to the improvement of Intel’s production quality, the CPU frequency has been increased, so that the performance of the entire series of products has been improved. The module based on the Intel Core i7-14700 processor has four additional E cores than the Intel Core i7-13700E, now totaling 20 cores, further boosting performance. Another new feature is the improved USB 3.2Gen 2×2 bandwidth, with transfer speeds of up to 20 gigabits per second.

Jurgen Jungbauer, Senior product line Manager at Congatet, explains: “The new conga-HPC/cRLS computer module is one of the highest performance levels in COM-HPC Client Size C, And the chipset is compatible with existing modules based on Raptor Lake-S. This means that existing designs can be seamlessly switched and more powerful. We also offer the best cooling solutions for developers to customize their own applications.”

The COM-HPC Size C specification (120×160 mm) is intended for applications that require multi-core and multi-threaded performance, large caches, large memory capacity, high bandwidth and advanced I/O technologies, such as performance-intensive applications based on artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). In addition, for embedded and edge computing applications with workload consolidation requirements, Congatet has adapted real-time virtualization technology (Hypervisor) in the module firmware ahead of time. The target markets for the new modules mainly include industrial automation and medical technology as well as edge and network infrastructure applications. Thanks to the improved computing core of this performance hybrid architecture, up to 8 P cores and 16 E cores are now available.

The new COM-HPC Size C conga-HPC/cRLS computer module is available in the following configurations. All Intel Core 14xxx series are new additions.

Application engineers can deploy the new COM-HPC computer module on Congatet’s Micro-ATX application carrier (conga HPC/uATX). Designed specifically for the COM-HPC Client module, this carrier immediately combines the benefits and enhancements of the new module with ultra-fast PCIe Gen5 connectivity.
