Product Brief AMD Embedded G-Series APU Platform The worlds first combination of low-power CPU and advanced GPU intergrated into a single embedded device Product Overview The AMD Embedded G-Series processor is the world’s first integrated circuit to combine a low-power CPU and a discrete-level GPU into a single embedded Accelerated Processing Unit (APU). This unprecedented level of graphics integration builds a new foundation for high performance multi-media content delivery in a small form factor and power efficient platform for a broad range of embedded designs. Based on a power-optimized core, the AMD Embedded G-Series platform delivers levels of performance in a compact BGA package that is ideal for low power designs in embedded applications such as Digital Signage, x86 Set-Top Box (xSTB), IP-TV, Thin Client, Information Kiosk, Point-of-Sale, Casino Gaming, Media Servers, and Industrial Control Systems. Low Power, Exceptional Performance The AMD G-Series platform is a flexible solution that in the same package offers scalable choices for the level of CPU performance, power efficiency, and visual experience. The AMD G-T16R APU with an average power of only 2.3 Watts1 enables very small form factor, fan-less and portable applications. APU configurations are available with single or dual x86 cores, at 4.5W, 9W or 18W thermal design power (TDP), and two levels of graphics and video performance. Each APU supports single or dual-independent high resolution displays and exceptional multi-media capability with hardware decode support for H.264, VC-1, MPEG2, WMV, DivX and Adobe® Flash. When paired with the AMD A50M controller hub with support for advanced interfaces such as 6Gb/s SATA, Generation 2 PCI Express®, and HD Audio, the AMD G-Series platform delivers a low power, value-oriented solution for applications requiring a better balance of CPU and multimedia performance. For high-end, full- featured platforms, the AMD A55E controller hub is an alternative pairing choice with added features of Gigabit Ethernet MAC, RAID (0/1/5/10) support with FIS-based switching, and PCI local bus support. Headless Embedded Systems For deeply embedded headless systems, the AMD Embedded G-Series CPU models T48L and T30L enable whisper-quiet media servers and model T24L enables fanless design for factory control systems. 2 Product Brief: AMD Embedded G-Series APU Platform Features and Benefits Key Architecture Benefits A flexible platform that in one package offers many choices for power efficiency, visual experience with high resolution, and fully connected Internet experience with maximum multimedia capability.

Internal testing of current vs. previous generation AMD processor-based embedded systems as of October 13, 2010 showed more than 3X graphics performance-per-watt advantage for the current generation. Current system: AMD G-T44R APU (9W TDP), Inagua development platform, 2 GB RAM, Windows® 7. Previous generation: AMD Sempron™ 2010U processor (15W TDP), MSI 9858 motherboard, 2 GB RAM, Windows 7. Graphics performance-per-watt calculated based on 3DMark™ 06 benchmark divided by solution thermal design power (TDP). 2While running a Winbench 99 business graphics benchmark the AMD G-T16R APU consumed an average of 2.284W. I/O Controller Hub power is estimated based on the measured average power drawn by the I/OCH of .965W during a run of 3DMark 06. System Configuration: AMD G-T16R APU (DVT) at 30°C, “Inagua” Development Board, 4GB 1.35V DDR3, Windows 7 Ultimate. EMB-26 2Low voltage (1.35V) DDR3 is assumed for the 9W TDP processors. The use of 1.5V DDR3 will incur a power adder. Always refer to the processor/chipset data sheets for technical specifications.
