Portwell has launched PCOM-B655VGL, a new COM Express Type 6 module. The device is powered by Intel’s 10th Generation Core i3/i5/i7/i9 desktop processors and Intel Q470E/W480E chipset to produce optimised computing performance and power consumption.
“Featuring up to 10 cores/20 threads with a low 35W TDP in LGA1200 socket,” says Kenneth Lee, Portwell’s product manager, “the basic form factor offers long-life product support of 10+ years and can support multiple displays including DP, HDMI, LVDS and VGA. PCOM-B655VGL can deliver superior performance in various environments, making it the optimal choice for applications such as industrial automation, communication, gaming, networking, IoT, medical equipment, transportation, smart retail, automated test equipment and much more.”
At just 125mm x 95mm, the new basic module packs a powerful array of features, including the latest 10th Generation Intel Core processors, which allow up to 31% enhanced multitasking performance and as much as 11% better performance on single-thread compute-intensive applications compared to the previous generation; dual-channel DDR4 ECC/Non-ECC SO- DIMM 2933 MHz up to 32GB; supports 3 x DDI (DP/HDMI), 1 x VGA and 1 x eDP (LVDS); 4 x USB 3.2 Gen 2, 8 x USB 2.0; 4 x SATA III, 1 x PCIe x16 Gen 3 and 8 x PCIe x1 Gen 3; 2 x UART; 1 x Gigabit Ethernet; a temperature range of 0-60C; TPM 2.0; AT/ATX mode; 10+ years product lifespan.
There is a wide range of COMe carrier boards in the company’s product portfolio. With these carrier boards, customers can quickly and easily test the new COMe module products and develop applications or software. They can also provide services to clients in the design, development and manufacture of custom carrier boards.
“The important take away for our customers,” Lee confirms, “is that PCOM-B655VGL provides a quick update to the latest Intel microprocessor with accelerated graphic processing and overall power consumption, all of which enables quick time-to-market for OEM customers’ products. Plus,” he adds, “Portwell’s ability to consistently provide the most up-to-date technology and features has resulted in the company taking its place as the leading COM Express solutions provider for the embedded computing market. This means that not only do our customers gain the assurance of working with an industry leader, but they also benefit from the peace of mind they get from the 10+ years-long product life span support inherent with this Portwell product.”
