The Portwell PCOM-B642VG COM Express module supports Intel® Turbo Boost Technology via Intel Core™ i5 and i7 processors, Intel® vPro™ Technology via the Q170 chipset for enhanced remote capabilities, and Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology via Intel Core™ i7 processors. It is also designed with the advanced new features offered by 7th generation Intel® Core™ processors that power IoT cloud designs, including Intel® SGX (Software Guard Extensions), Intel® MPX (Memory Guard Extensions), additional HSIO (High Speed Input/Output) for greater flexibility, and expanded HW/GPU accelerated codec support. Furthermore, the PCOM-B642VG delivers enhanced graphics performance, a stunning 4K Ultra HD display across three independent screens, and faster video and 3D playback, all while improving energy efficiency. These features and performance translate into greater security and reduced management costs, making the Portwell PCOM-B642VG an ideal solution for healthcare systems, military equipment, retail systems, and IoT application design across a wide range of industries.
Specifically, the PCOM-B642VG COM Express module supports up to 32GB of ECC (supported only by the C236 chipset) and non-ECC DDR4 up to 2400MHz in two 288-pin SODIMM sockets, making it faster than its predecessor. Its expansion interface supports one PCI Express x16 Gen3 (8.0 GT/s) lane for improved video performance, 1.6 times faster than the previous Gen2 (5.0 GT/s), and eight PCI Express x1 Gen3 (8.0 GT/s) lanes.
Furthermore, the PCOM-B642VG supports three independent displays—DP (DisplayPort), VGA, and eDP—with improved 3D performance compared to its predecessor. Operating with a low CPU TDP (35 watts), the PCOM-B642VG delivers superior performance in a variety of environments.
Designed with flexibility in mind, the PCOM-B642VG is built on a basic 125mm x 95mm platform and features Intel® Q170, H110, and C236 Express chipsets that work seamlessly with 7th generation Intel® Core™ processors. These features allow our customers to preserve their legacy components and subsequent investments while minimizing response time.
The Portwell PCOM-B642VG is specifically designed for optimized solutions using the 7th generation Intel® Core™ desktop processor series, formerly known as Kaby Lake-S. Specifically, the Kaby Lake-S desktop CPU offers cost-effective solutions compared to the Kaby Lake-H and Kaby Lake-U workstation, server, and mobile series. Furthermore, while offering a lower cost, this CPU series also features a 14nm architecture with reduced power consumption, improved computing power, and enhanced graphics performance. Finally, the new Kaby Lake CPU series offers improved media encoding and decoding capabilities.
