congatec – a leading vendor of embedded and edge computing technology – announces four new high-end COM-HPC Computer-on-Modules based on the 14^th Generation Intel Core processors (codename Raptor Lake-S Refresh), which launched today. Representing an extension to the existing conga-HPC/cRLS Computer-on-Modules, the modules set new records for industrial workstations and edge computers in certain areas. Thanks to Intel's improved production quality, clock frequencies have been increased, resulting in performance gains across the entire range. The Intel Core i7-14700 processor-based modules stand out with four additional E-Cores compared to the Intel Core i7-13700E variants, providing an additional performance boost with now 20 cores in total. Another new feature is the improved bandwidth of USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 with up to 20 gigabits per second.

"The new conga-HPC/cRLS Computer-on-Modules represent one of the highest performance levels available on COM-HPC Client Size C and are chipset compatible with the existing modules based on Raptor Lake-S. This means that they can immediately provide existing designs with even more power," explains Jürgen Jungbauer, Senior Product Line Manager at congatec. “Suitable heat sinks for maximum performance boost are also available, allowing developers to find everything they need for integration into their dedicated systems in our high-performance ecosystem.”

The COM-HPC Size C form factor (120 mm x 160 mm) addresses application areas that require outstanding multi-core and multi-thread performance, large caches, enormous memory capacities combined with high bandwidth and advanced I/O technology. These include, for example, performance-hungry applications based on artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). In addition, there are all embedded and edge computing solutions with workload consolidation, for which congatec offers pre-configured real-time hypervisor technology in the module firmware. The target markets for the new congatec COM HPC Size C Computer-on-Modules include industrial automation and medical technology as well as edge and network infrastructure applications. They all benefit from the optimized computing cores of this hybrid performance architecture, which currently supports up to 8 performance cores and 16 efficiency cores.

The new conga-HPC/cRLS Computer-on-Modules in COM-HPC Size C form factor are available in the below variants. All variants of the Intel Core 14xxx Series are new.
