MSC HCA-ALP

Intel® Core™ 12th Generation

The MSC HCA-ALP COM-HPC Client module features the 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processor, giving application designers a great variety of choices of power efficient and performance-focused compute solutions. Offering a great scalability of performance the module is ideal for compute intense applications in instrumentation, high-end medical equipment, transportation, video surveillance and gaming. The new Intel® performance hybrid architecture combines Performance-cores and Efficient-cores with the Intel® Thread Director providing intelligent workload optimization. The architecture scales up to fourteen cores and twenty threads at 45/35W thermal design power (TDP). Applications requiring lower power dissipation can be operated with selected processor variants at 12W TDP.

For highest data throughput the module enables fast DDR5-4800 memory technology. Up to two SO-DIMMs can be installed for a total memory capacity from eight to sixty-four GB. I/O located on COM-HPC carrier designs can be connected to the module via up to eight PCIe Gen 3 lanes, up to eight PCIe Gen 4 lanes and an optional eight lane PEG port capable of PCIe Gen 4. The two Ethernet interfaces provide up to 2.5GbE bandwidth each based on the Intel i226 network controller. Further high-speed I/O can utilize USB ports featuring USB4 and USB 3.2.

System investments are well protected through long-term availability of the module, designed, and manufactured by Avnet Embedded. In addition, the COM-HPC standard enables performance scaling and migrating applications to future technology upgrades when they become available.
