A new Intel Atom processor generation now provides even more performance reserves in the devices, which cover the spectrum from low to high automation requirements.<\/p>\n<p> With a new generation of processors, the C6015, C6017 and C6025 ultra-compact industrial PCs can be used for even more demanding computing tasks than before while retaining their compact form factor. The fanless devices are designed in particular for control, visualisation and communication \u2013 from complex automation and virtualisation to use as an edge device or HMI platform. All of this benefits from the new Intel Atom x7 CPU series, which offers up to eight processor cores and a 3.0 GHz clock frequency.<\/p>\n<p> As the smallest device with dimensions of just 82 x 82 x 40 mm, the C6015 ultra-compact industrial PC is ideal for highly compact applications, virtualisation, and IoT. The same applies to the C601,7 with an installation depth of 66 mm, which has an additional second board level for optional interfaces and integrated 1-second UPS. Measuring 82 x 127 x 47 mm, the C6025 can also be expanded to up to eight processor cores and used with high-performance SSDs and USB-C.<\/p>\n<p> <span
