Kontron launches COM Express basic COMe-bIP with third generation Intel Core processors

The manufacturer of open modular solutions for the telecommunications market, Control, has released fourteen versions of Computer-on-Modules COM Express with third generation Intel Core processors, that offer maximum flexibility in ‘state-of-the-art high-end’ embedded digital signage applications with up to three independent digital displays.

Control has included support for the new third generation Intel Core processors in fourteen versions COM Express basic Computer-on-Module. The new Kontron COM Express basic COMe-bIP#, that come in Type output pinouts. 2 and Type 6 with different processors, provide long-term availability, an unprecedented level of graphics and processing performance, support for three independent displays, USB 3.0 y ‘fast’ PCI-Express Gen 3.0. These new modules, based on Intel QM77 chipset, support seven 3rd generation Intel Core processors with up to 2.3 GHz (Intel Core i7 3615QE quad-core).

Engineers designing high-end intelligent embedded computing systems, such as those found in medical and digital signage solutions, face the challenge of appropriately combining performance, watts and cost. Now, The new third generation modules offer the scalability demanded in your current and future applications.

Environments with “thermal restrictions”, like health, digital signage, infotainment, points of sale (POS) and “unmanned” aerospace and military applications, They can also achieve a performance per watt increase of up to forty percent. This improvement in efficiency is the result of the company's innovative 3-D Tri-Gate manufacturing process. 22 nm.

Kontron modules provide up to twenty percent more computing power and HD graphics with a greater number of graphics execution units.

Las Intel Advanced Vector Extensions (Intel AVX) and the SSE floating point instruction set for signal processing, as well as OpenCL 1.1, offer developers the ideal platform to increase computing performance in, For example, health and defense. Vision systems benefit from USB interface 3.0 supported (with ten times the performance of USB 2.0), while the latest PCI Express technology helps provide wireless connectivity through 3G add-on modems / 4G and other communications devices.

The Kontron COM Express basic COMe-bIP# range supports a wide variety of operating systems, like Linux, VxWorks y Windows (including Windows 8).
