Germany’s congatec, a trailblazer in embedded and edge computing solutions, has unveiled four cutting-edge COM-HPC computer modules powered by the 14th Gen Intel® Core™ processors (codenamed Raptor Lake-S Refresh).
These groundbreaking modules elevate the existing conga-HPC/cRLS lineup, redefining performance standards for industrial workstations and edge computing. Leveraging Intel’s refined manufacturing processes, the upgraded CPU clock speeds deliver a significant boost across the entire product series.
The flagship Intel® Core™ i7-14700 processor now packs four extra E-cores compared to its predecessor, the i7-13700E, delivering a staggering 20-core powerhouse for unparalleled performance. Another standout feature is the turbocharged USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 interface, blazing through data transfers at up to 20 gigabits per second.
“These next-gen conga-HPC/cRLS modules set a new performance benchmark in the COM-HPC Client Size C segment,” said Jürgen Jungbauer, Senior Product Line Manager at congatec. “With full backward compatibility for existing Raptor Lake-S designs, customers can effortlessly upgrade while unlocking superior capabilities. We’ve also engineered advanced thermal solutions to empower developers in crafting bespoke systems for specialized applications.”
Designed for the most demanding workloads, the COM-HPC Size C standard (120×160 mm) is tailor-made for applications craving multi-core muscle, expansive cache, massive memory, and ultra-fast I/O—perfect for AI and machine learning deployments where every millisecond counts.
For edge computing scenarios requiring workload consolidation, congatec has smartly pre-integrated real-time virtualization (Hypervisor) support in the firmware. These modules shine brightest in industrial automation, cutting-edge medical tech, and next-gen network infrastructure applications.
The enhanced hybrid architecture now flexes up to 8 performance cores and 16 efficiency cores, delivering unprecedented processing versatility.
Available in multiple configurations, the new conga-HPC/cRLS modules in COM-HPC Size C standard feature all-new Intel® Core™ 14xxx series processors—each engineered to push the boundaries of what’s possible in embedded computing.
