The cExpress-AR, featuring the new AMD Ryzen V2000 CPU with its high performance integrated Radeon graphics, is the first Type 6 module on the market to support an octa-core (8-core) embedded SoC, with up to 16 threads and an impressive turbo boost up to 4.2 GHz. Compared to earlier embedded quad-core V1000 processors, the additional cores combined with AMD’s Zen 2 architecture result in a more than two-fold performance increase and double the performance-per-watt efficiency.
ADLINK’s cExpress-AR provides standard support for up to 64GB DDR4 in two SO-DIMMs. ECC error correction based on selected SKUs and configurable TDP (down to 10W), while still offering 6 to 8 cores and passive cooling, make it well suited for mission critical application in harsh environments.
With integrated new generation AMD Radeon Vega graphics, the cExpress-AR supports up to four independent 4K displays via DisplayPort, HDMI, DVI and LVDS. The cExpress-AR, offers a range of high speed interfaces, including 2.5GbE Ethernet, 6 PCIe x1 Gen3 and 1 PCIe x8 Gen2 (configurable), and 4x USB 3.2 ports. These features are fully compatible with the COM Express Rev. 3 specification, allowing for existing systems to upgrade and gain in performance without changing the carrier design.
