New COM Express compact module offers unrivalled AI performance

congatec boosts AI performance for medical, robotics, industrial, retail, and gaming applications, delivering up to 99 TOPS. This excellent AI performance is driven by the new conga-TC750 COM in the COM Express Compact Type 6 form factor, which is powered by Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors (codenamed Arrow Lake) with Lion Cove and Skymont P and E-cores, providing up to 16 cores and 22 threads alongside an integrated GPU and NPU.

Developers already working with COM Express Compact platforms (95mm x 95mm), such as the conga-TC700, will gain particularly from the quick upgrade path to unprecedented AI performance. Applications with high-performance requirements – particularly in graphics and AI – can take advantage of Intel's new SoC's enhanced x86 and AI capabilities with minimal development effort and a faster time-to-market.

The SoC achieves 99 TOPS by combining the exceptional AI performance of the integrated Intel Xe-LPG+ graphics processor (iGPU) – optimised for parallel, high-throughput workloads and delivering up to 77 TOPS (compared to its predecessor Meteor Lake's 18 TOPS) – with a highly energy-efficient NPU providing up to 13 TOPS, and a CPU contributing 9 TOPS for fast response times. The new SoC also features Intel's latest Xe-LPG+ graphics engine. With its standardised module concept enabling simple upgrades and high scalability, the conga-TC750 is an excellent choice for high-performance IPCs and thin clients, allowing them to stay updated with easy module replacements. Also, AI-supported medical imaging, test and measurement, and graphics-based applications benefit greatly from the new module's significant performance.

"Our new conga-TC750 COM Express Compact modules with Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors are ideal for applications that always require the latest performance and follow innovation cycles of three to five years. The module concept excels in these scenarios, providing an application-ready computing core that helps developers save time and costs during design-in, scale easily, and achieve a shorter time-to-market. By replacing modules while retaining the carrier board, developers avoid the expense and effort of a full system replacement or redesign," explains Maximilian Gerstl, product manager at congatec.
