| | | Alder Lake-H and -S Modules Roll Including a COM-HPC |
| Congatec announced three COM Express compute modules that serve up Intel’s new 12th Gen Alder Lake Core processors. The two smaller modules—the 95mm x 95mm, Compact Type 6 Conga-TC670 and the 120 x 95 mm, COM-HPC Client Size A form-factor Conga-HPC/cALP—offer the same three Alder Lake H-series options provided by Adlink for its Express-ADP Type 6 and COM-HPC-cALP Client Size B modules. |

| | | Solderable OSM Module Showcases i.MX8M Plus |
| iWave, which last March announced an iW-RainboW-G40M module, has announced a much smaller module with the same NXP i.MX8M Plus SoC and the same iW-RainboW-G40M name. Fortunately, the new module is also referred to as the i.MX 8M Plus OSM LGA Module. The 45mm x 45mm module adopts SGET’s recent OSM v1.0 form factor for solderable, LGA packaged compute modules. |

| | | Linux Maker Board Market Survives Chip Shortage, Adds 29 New SBCs in 2021 |
| In this intro to LinuxGizmos.com's catalog of 136 Linux hacker boards, we examine how the 2021 chip shortage led to higher prices, limited availability and more than twice the usual number of discontinuations. Yet, 29 models launched in 2021, including SBCs with M.2 slots, RISC-V CPUs and AI chips. |
