EXPRESS-CFECOM Express Type 6 Basic Computer-on-Module with 8th Gen Intel Xeon and Core
EXPRESS-CFE is a PICMG COM.0 R3.0 Type 6 CPU module in the Basic 125 mm x 95 mm form factor: the computing logic sits on the module, the application I/O on the carrier — for example Express-BASE6, which hosts the audio codec (ALC886 standard supported).
The distinctive axis is the pairing of the Xeon E-2176M with the CM246 chipset, which enables ECC and non-ECC memory across three DDR4 SODIMM sockets at 2133/2400 MT/s. The PCIe Gen3 link can be split as x16, 2× x8 or 1× x8 with 2× x4, and the PCIe ports support NVMe and Intel Optane Memory Technology.
Available with Xeon E-2176M (Express-CFE-E-2176M, CM246) or with Core i7-8850H, Core i5-8400H and Core i3-8100H.
