COM Express Type 7

With the new revision 3.0 of the most successful Computer-on-Module standard a new pinout Type is added to extend the reach of COM Express to server Type applications.

COM Express is a Computer-on-Module standard defined by the PICMG consortium (www.picmg. org). The first version was release in 2005 with updates in 2010 and 2012. The upcoming revision 3.0 defines 4 different sizes and 3 pinouts. 

The new Type 7 is not a replacement for the well-established Type 6 pinout. It trades all audio and video interfaces for four 10G Ethernet ports and a total of 32 PCI Express lanes in order to support enhanced micro servers and other server Type applications that only allow for low power consumption but require high computing performance and communication throughput.
