In 2022, we covered Intel’s Xeon D (Ice Lake-D) processor family, which includes the D-2700 and D-1700 models. These processors are designed for software-defined networking and edge applications, providing data center-grade capabilities at the edge. Key features include integrated AI and crypto acceleration, built-in Ethernet, and support for Intel Time Coordinated Computing (TCC) and Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) to ensure high reliability. Leveraging these advanced capabilities, companies like ADLINK Technology and Congatec have introduced COM-HPC server modules and COM Express Type 7 modules based on the new Xeon D lineup.
Axiomtek’s CEM710 is a COM Express Type 7 Basic Module powered by Intel Xeon D-1700 Series processors, designed for edge computing, industrial automation, and data-intensive applications. It offers up to 10 cores, 100Gbps Ethernet, and 64GB of DDR4 ECC memory, along with PCIe Gen3 slots for expandability. With rugged features and TPM 2.0 for security, it ensures reliable performance in demanding environments.

The Axiomtek CEM710 module features an AMI UEFI BIOS, which supports modern boot environments and operates in UEFI-only mode, enhancing system security and reducing boot times. This “legacy-free” approach ensures compatibility with current operating systems, making it suitable for industrial and edge applications.
The module is compatible with multiple operating systems, including Linux, which provides reliability and real-time capability for embedded applications. It also supports Windows, such as Windows IoT or standard Windows 10/11, and can run real-time operating systems (RTOS) for precise timing requirements. This broad OS compatibility enhances its flexibility across diverse industrial use cases.
At the time of writing, Axiomtek has not officially disclosed the price yet. For further information, you may visit their product page where you’ll find a datasheet, drivers, and a user manual for the Xeon D-1700 COM Express module, and/or read the press release.
