Product Brief AMD Embedded G-Series System-on-Chip (SOC) The embedded evolution continues with x86 CPU, integrated discrete-class GPU and i/o controller on the same die. Product Overview The AMD Embedded G-Series SOC platform is a high-performance, low-power System-on-Chip (SOC) design, featured with enterpriseclass error-correction code (ECC) memory support, dual and quadcore variants, integrated discrete-class GPU, and I/O controller on the same die. The AMD G-Series SOC achieves superior performance per watt in the low-power x86 microprocessor class of products when running multiple industry-standard benchmarks.1 This helps enable the delivery of an exceptional HD multimedia experience and provides a heterogeneous computing platform for parallel processing. The small-footprint, ECCcapable SOC sets the new foundation for a power-efficient platform for content-rich multimedia processing and workload processing that is well suited for a broad variety of embedded applications. Superior Performance Per Watt The AMD Embedded G-Series SOC platform delivers an exceptionally high-definition visual experience and the ability to take advantage of heterogeneous computing while maintaining a low-power design. • AMD G-Series SOC’s next-generation “Jaguar”-based CPU offers 113% improved CPU performance vs. AMD G-Series APU and greater than a 2x (125%) advantage vs. Intel Atom when running multiple industry-standard computeintensive benchmarks.2 • AMD G-Series SOC’s advanced GPU, supporting DirectX® 11.1, OpenGL 4.2, and OpenCL™ 1.23, enables parallel processing and high-performance graphics processing that provides up to 20% improvement vs. AMD G-Series APU and a 5x (430%) advantage vs. Intel Atom when running multiple industry-standard graphics-intensive benchmarks.4 • Excellent compute and graphics performance with enhanced hardware acceleration deliver up to 70% overall improvement vs. AMD G-Series APU and over 3x (218%) the overall performance advantage vs. Intel Atom in embedded applications when running multiple industrystandard compute- and graphics-intensive benchmarks.5 Enabling Low-Power, Innovative Small Form Factor Designs The AMD G-Series SOC is a small-footprint and low-power solution that reduces overall system costs. • The SOC design offers 33% footprint reduction compared to AMD G-Series APU two-chip platform,6 simplifying design with fewer board layers and simplified power supply. • AMD G-Series SOC enables fan-less design that further helps drive down system cost and enhance system reliability by eliminating moving parts. • With an array of performance options and universal pin compatibility across the AMD G-Series SOC portfolio, the AMD G-Series SOC platform allows OEMs to utilize a single board design to enable solutions from entry-level to high-end. • The SOC design enables new levels of performance in small SBC (single board computer) and COMs (computer-on-modules) form factors. • AMD G-Series SOCs support Thermal Design Profiles (TDPs) from 5W to 25W and offer dynamically configurable TDP capabilities. Optimizing Business Value The AMD Embedded G-Series SOC platform brings performance and efficiency with desirable features, delivering lower TCO and higher ROI. • Supporting ECC memory and providing a dedicated Platform Security Processor (PSP) compatible with ARM® TrustZone, AMD G-Series SOC platforms will help to penetrate markets previously inaccessible to x86 products in these power envelopes, at this price point. • The AMD G-Series SOC helps achieve higher system quality, reliability, and energy efficiency, which contribute to overall lower TCO. • Multiple performance levels offer upgrade paths to protect software and hardware ecosystem costs. 2 Product Brief: AMD Embedded G-Series System-on-Chip (SOC) • AMD’s commitment to long-term availability and support (5-10 years) maximizes ROI.7 • The AMD G-Series SOC platform is well suited for low-power and high-performance designs in a broad range of markets, including Industrial Control & Automation, Digital Signage, Thin Client, and Electronic Gaming Machines. • New AMD G-Series CPUs (no onboard GPU) provide a robust feature set including ECC and PSP, and deliver superior single threaded performance – 33% more performance per dollar than competing Intel solutions – for cost-optimized storage controllers and Network Attached Storage systems.8 OPN # OF x86 CORES TDP (CPU, GPU, & SB) SHARED L2 CACHE CPU FREQ.
