Conga-TC300 uses Intel Core Series 3 processors in a 15W base power envelope
Intel said that Wild Cat Lake is already launched, but we are yet to see the actual laptop on sale featuring this mainstream chip.
Meanwhile, comapny called Congatec has introduced the conga-TC300, a COM Express Compact Type 6 module based on Intel Core Series 3 processors. The module is not aimed at consumers, rather aimed at edge AI, industrial automation, robotics, medical systems, transport, smart cities and retail devices.
The new module uses Intel Core 7 350, Core 5 320 or Core 3 305 processors. All three variants use a 6-core layout with 2 P-cores and 4 LP E-cores, with a 15W base power rating. congatec lists 12W to 28W configurable TDP support depending on the system design. The Core 7 350 and Core 5 320 variants include an integrated NPU, while the Core 3 305 does not.

The conga-TC300 supports up to 64GB of DDR5-6400 memory through one SO-DIMM slot. It also offers optional UFS 3.1 storage, 2.5GbE through Intel i226, up to two USB4 ports, four USB 3.2 Gen2 ports, four USB 2.0 ports, two SATA ports and up to four PCIe Gen4 lanes.
Congatec says the module is designed as an upgrade path for embedded systems that previously used Intel Atom or Celeron platforms.
