AMD today introduced the latest entry to the AMD Embedded G-Series processor family with the AMD Embedded G-T16R Accelerated Processing Unit (APU). The AMD G-T16R is targeted at very low power, small form factor and cost-sensitive embedded designs that require a combination of x86 compatibility and graphics. The optimized design of the AMD Embedded G-T16R sips power, with power consumption of just 2.3 wattsiv on average or 4.5 watts thermal design power (TDP).

Embedded product designers are taking to the industry's green challenge to design a broad range of next-generation applications for the industrial control, point-of-sale, medical appliance and transportation markets. For example, industrial customers can use the APU to help create greener factories based on more power-efficient factory hardware. Additionally, embedded designers can develop applications like point-of-sale order entry stations and tablets, medical bedside terminals and even solar-powered traffic control devices using the AMD G-T16R.

The new AMD Embedded G-Series APU also offers embedded product designers a seamless upgrade path for legacy applications with the following features:
  • Fits into small form factor boards by implementing a two-chip platform, the APU and its companion controller hub;
  • Legacy I/O card support based on a full 32-bit PCI interface and an ISA bus solution with DMA support;
  • Support for a full range of display technologies, with analog VGA and LVDS support for legacy applications and DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort interfaces for the latest display technology.
"It's critical that the latest AMD Embedded G-Series APUs provide compatibility with existing x86 processors while supporting the latest interface technologies," said Jim McGregor, principal analyst of TIRIAS Research. "Having a simple migration path allows engineers to develop robust designs using the latest DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort display technologies."

There are already more than 50 standard form factor motherboards available supporting the AMD Embedded G-Series platform, ranging from the small Qseven computer-on-modules to the versatile and widely available MiniITX form factor. This enhanced compatibility provides original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) with a variety of board options to design into their system solutions. The platform consists of both the APU and its companion controller hub, which have a total combined footprint of just 890 mm2 - approximately the size of a square inch.

The AMD Embedded G-T16R APU is designed to help reduce product development and life cycle costs through a common scalable platform design that spans the entire AMD Embedded G-Series. AMD's unique approach enables one design to serve multiple product configurations, simplifying the supply chain, helping reduce operational complexity and enabling better platform economics. The AMD G-T16R APU is also available at extremely accessible price points, allowing designers to easily incorporate it into cost-sensitive embedded applications.

"With the AMD G-T16R APU, we were striving for that critical balance of performance, power efficiency and cost for power, and cost-sensitive embedded applications, and we've achieved it," said Arun Iyengar, corporate vice president and general manager, AMD Embedded Solutions. "This new APU helps to enable small form factor and fan-less designs with power consumption of just 2.3 watts on average."

For users of the AMD Geode LX processor family, the AMD G-T16R APU offers a cost-effective upgrade path, consuming about seven percent less power and three times the performance of the 2.45 watt AMD Geode LX processor, while reducing the overall chip footprint by 58 percent. Support for the latest DDR3 memory helps reduce memory costs for legacy applications while enabling higher memory speed and capacity.

The AMD Embedded G-T16R APU supports Windows Embedded Compact 7, Green Hills INTEGRITY and Express Logic ThreadX operating systems, allowing applications that leverage these popular embedded and real-time operating systems to easily migrate to the new platform.

Along with the announcement of the new AMD G-T16R APU, AMD is also extending the planned availability for the entire AMD Embedded G-Series processor family through 2017, resetting the five-year clock for both existing and new designs.

A variety of AMD customers are announcing small form factor motherboards designed around the legacy I/O and low power support of the AMD G-T16R APU:
  • Advantech PCM-3356 PC/104 CPU module;
  • Aewin PM-6161 PC/104 board;
  • Arbor EmETX-a55E0 ETX CPU module;
  • aValue ECM-A50M 3.5" embedded motherboard;
  • Axiomtek CM100 COM Express module;
  • MEN Mikro Elektronik SC24 computer-on-module.

?

Is that a sarcastic comment? Or are you not aware that the AMD APU is x86 CPU with embedded graphics. Great graphics is useless if the x86 end of the system is a donkey. AMD is disingenuous with their performance comparisons, example and weight the results by GPU performance. Atom was never design for graphics... so showing benchmarks dominated by AMD GPU vs. Atom chipset GPU is useless. For mixed use application, I'd like to know the CPU performance comparison of the two systems, not just that their 2012 GPU is faster than Atoms pathetic 2008 offering.

I've had nothing but good results from AMD APUs (the same cannot be said of their desktop processors, but that's an entirely different subject and not a flame!) so this is exciting for me. I really look forward to see what they come up with!

I wonder when will AMD release AMD Fusion for mobile phones..
Next year that is where Temash is heading.
Z-01 => 5.9W/Desna(2011/Brazos)
Z-03 => 4.5W/Hondo(2012/Brazos-T)
Z-05? => ~3W(2013/Temash)
Z-07? => ~2W(2014)

Anything below 5W TDP can go into a phone.

That and they don't have the capital other companies do such as intel so they can't invest as much into R&D.

a reasonable point that can be mitigated with inteligent design, or Licensing IP:) < i think this is where Amd is going in both directions ,and as Amd is proveing with Hsa( nvidia have also Proved GpGPU's worth) there is more then one way to skin a ninja;).

point of fact AMD are way ahead of intel in Gfx and gpgpu, they were not before,, they bought ATI ,they bought not licensed the IP, but that was then ,this is now.
