They incorporate up to sixteen CPU cores in a redesigned hybrid architecture, the new Intel NPU 5 that delivers up to 50 TOPS of dedicated AI acceleration—reaching up to 180 TOPS of platform combined with CPU—and a GPU with Xe3 architecture that significantly improves graphics and image processing performance. Support for high-speed LPDDR5x/DDR5 memory, PCIe Gen4/Gen5 expansion, Thunderbolt connectivity, and industrial-grade operating conditions make this processor family particularly well-suited for AI-driven systems, advanced industrial automation, smart retail, medical imaging, multi-camera vision systems, and other latency-sensitive or graphics-intensive applications.
With the SOM-COMe-BT6-PTL, SECO brings these next-generation capabilities to the widely adopted COM Express Type 6 Basic standard, providing a flexible and scalable building block for next-generation embedded designs.
Key Features of the SOM-COMe-BT6-PTL:
The new module combines performance, AI acceleration, and advanced connectivity within the COM Express Type 6 Basic form factor, including:
Support for Intel Core Ultra 3 Series processors with hybrid architecture;
Up to 50 TOPS with Intel NPU 5;
Up to 180 TOPS of platform-level AI acceleration;
Advanced graphics with Intel Arc GPU;
Two SO-DIMM slots supporting up to 128GB of DDR5
PCIe Gen4/Gen5 memory, USB 4.0 / Thunderbolt, and 2.5GbE for high-speed expansion;
Multiple display outputs (eDP, DP++, HDMI) for HMI and machine vision;
Optional industrial temperature range for demanding environments;
Designed for long-term availability and integration into robust and mission-critical systems.
The new module integrates natively with Clea, SECO's framework for IoT infrastructure, AI, and device management, enabling customers to leverage operational data, remotely manage edge systems, and deploy value-added services and AI applications. Through Clea OS 2.0 — an embedded Linux distribution based on Yocto — users can deploy, monitor, update and secure edge devices at scale, further simplifying compliance with European cybersecurity regulations such as CRA and RED.
