KONTRON INTRODUCES COM EXPRESS BASIC TYPE 6

Kontron introduces a new COM Express^® Basic Type 6 Module featuring the state-of-the-art Intel^® Core^TM Ultra Meteor Lake-H/U series processors. An outstanding feature of the new processor technology is that it integrates multiple compute engines into one System-on-Chip (SoC), including P-cores, E-cores, Intel^® Arc^TM GPU, and Intel^® AI Boost, an integrated Neural Processing Unit (NPU).

Intel^® Core^TM Ultra processors provide multiple compute engines, including Intel^® AI Boost, in one SoC, enabling fast AI and vision processing without an entry-level discrete GPU for data inference, real-time control, and AI in a single platform. This helps to accelerate inference at the edge while reducing the need for a discrete accelerator and lowering system complexity and cost.

The COM Express^® basic Type 6 based on the Intel^® Core^TM Ultra Meteor Lake-H/U Series comes along with Performance Hybrid architecture supporting up to 16 cores (up to 6 P-cores, 8 E-cores, and 2 LPE-cores), Intel^® ArcTM Graphics architecture with up to 8 Xe-Cores (128EUs) and integrated NPU for dedicated AI acceleration. Up to 96 GB of DDR5 memory, up to 2.5 Gb Ethernet and optional NVMe SSDs onboard enable high and energy-efficient data throughput with low latency.

The new processor technology is well suited for machine vision and automation applications, even in space- and power-constrained environments. Users can expect faster results from AI, more media streams per device, and long-life availability for long-term value.
