CPU update with significant performance boost

The Intel Core Series 2 family of processors offers up to twelve performance cores and up to 4 GHz base clock and 5.9 GHz turbo frequency, making it ideal for all applications with the highest demands on single-core computing power and/or highly parallelized applications that benefit from many powerful cores. Felix Wildemann, Product Management Industrial PC at Beckhoff Automation, says: "For some applications, especially non-control tasks that rely on the operating system's own scheduling, there are many advantages to a hybrid CPU architecture. In the control/automation field, however, many performance-hungry applications require high single-thread performance and CPU cores that are uniformly organized. That not only delivers more performance per core but also significantly simplifies engineering. We have seen the trend toward hybrid processor architectures for several years at all levels, including Arm^® processors, and are therefore all the more pleased that Intel has listened to industry feedback and added the Bartlett Lake 12P series of CPUs to their embedded roadmap, which offers a real advantage in industrial applications."

Measuring just 132 x 202 x 76 mm, the C6040 ultra-compact Industrial PC is one of the most powerful computers in this series. It is versatile in use and particularly suited to complex axis controls, complex HMI applications, and applications with extremely short cycle times, as well as machine learning and machine vision applications. “Beckhoff’s C6040 ultra-compact Industrial PC is powered by Intel Core Series 2 processors with P-cores, delivering deterministic compute performance optimized for industrial workloads at the edge,” says Todd Matsler, Sr. Director & GM, Manufacturing Segment at Intel Corporation. “This long-life platform enables predictable real-time control alongside advanced vision and AI applications within a compact industrial PC design. This collaboration underscores Intel’s commitment to scalable, high-reliability edge computing solutions for next-generation industrial systems.”

The C6640, C6650, and C6675 control cabinet Industrial PCs use an ATX motherboard and offer a wide range of equipment options including the use of large, high-performance graphics cards for particularly advanced machine learning and machine vision applications. The C5240 19-inch slide-in Industrial PC is also equipped with components of the very highest performance class, making it ideal for machine and system engineering applications.
