SAN DIEGO – Congatec Inc. in San Diego is introducing conga-TCR8 Type 6 COM Express compact computer-on-modules with AMD Ryzen Embedded 8000 series processors for high-volume, price-sensitive applications requiring a combination of advanced artificial intelligence (AI), graphics, and computing power.

These embedded computing modules are based on the dedicated computing cores of the Ryzen processors featuring as many as eight Zen 4 cores, XDNA NPU, and Radeon RDNA 3 graphics, for performance as strong as 39 teraoperations per second (TOPS) for AI inference.

The conga-TCR8 Type 6 modules are for medical imaging, test and measurement, AI-supported POS/POI systems, and professional gaming, as well as for upgrading existing designs. By replacing modules, companies can modernize their products.

The conga-TCR8 computer-on-modules are available with four different AMD Ryzen Embedded 8000 processors featuring six or eight Zen 4 cores. They support as much as 128 gigabytes of DDR5-5600 memory with error correction code (ECC).

The integrated AMD XDNA NPU (16 TOPS) and AMD Radeon RDNA 3 graphics also can be used as a GPGPU for AI tasks with as many as 12 compute units for a combined computing power as high as 39 TOPS.

They also support immersive graphics output on as many as four displays with resolutions as high as 8k. For fast peripheral connectivity, they offer six PCI Express Gen 4 (8 lanes) with PEG x8 Gen 4, three DisplayPort (DP) interfaces, one eDP or LVDS, four USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, and four USB 2.0 ports.

Audio signals come from HAD, and mass storage can be integrated through two SATA 6-gigabit-per-second ports or an optional NVMe solid-state drive on the module. Classic embedded interfaces such as SPI, UART, I2C, and GPIO complete the feature set.
