Conga-BM67 for intense graphics applications

Congatec has extended its Intel processor-based COM Express product range with the Conga-BM67 module for gaming, medical, automation and digital signage applications.

The Conga-BM67 features the latest second-generation Intel Core processors such as the Intel Core i7-2710QE processor (2.1GHz, 45W, PGA) and the dual-core Intel Core i5-2510E processor (2.5GHz, 35W, PGA) with up to 8GByte dual-channel DDR3 memory (1,333MHz).

The module is a two-chip solution that utilises the Intel QM67 Express chipset.

The processor graphics support the Intel Flexible Display Interface (FDI), which allows for two independent video channels on the VGA, LVDS, HDMI, Displayport or SDVO interfaces.

Congatec said a highlight of the Type Two pin-out COM Express Basic (95 x 125mm) module is the boost in graphics performance.

The 3D performance has been increased when compared with Intel's previous generation of processor graphics.

The Intel HD graphics supports Intel Clear Video Technology and DirectX Video Acceleration (DXVA) for accelerated video processing.

Paired with the additional computing performance of the second-generation Intel Core processor range, the Conga-BM67 is suitable for intense graphics applications.

Six PCI Express lanes, eight USB 2.0 ports, four Sata with Raid support, one EIDE and a Gigabit Ethernet interface allow for fast and flexible system extensions.

Fan control, LPC bus for slow speed extensions and Intel High-Definition Audio complete the package.

All Conga-BM67 modules are equipped with an embedded UEFI and board controller that enhance embedded features such as system monitoring, watchdog timer and the IC bus.

The board controller has the ability to isolate itself from the main x86 processor and therefore can provide these features even when in standby mode, which in turn offers further power-saving functionality.

In addition to enhanced power management, the Congatec embedded UEFI also supports ACPI 3.0 battery management.
