Congatec increases the scalability of its COM Express Computer-on-Modules with two new entry-level models based on the latest Intel 14nm microarchitecture (formerly codename Skylake).

The Intel Celeron processor-based COM Express Basic and Compact modules combine cost efficient dual-core CPU performance with state of the art features such as 4k multiscreen support, high-speed DDR4 RAM with increased bandwidth and four USB 3.0 ports. This significant performance increase over earlier Intel Celeron processor generations constitutes a real performance leap for developers targeting the broad and particularly price-sensitive field of mid-range applications.

The key applications for the new Computer-on-Modules include all kinds of 4k multi-screen solutions in which one embedded computer module controls up to three independent screens without the need for a dedicated graphics card. Applications can be found in operating rooms and medical diagnostics terminals, HMIs in industrial machinery and facilities, digital signage, vending and retail applications as well as gaming and infotainment terminals.
