Accelerated Processing Unit

Embedded Technology INSIDER

The AMD (Sunnyvale, CA) 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). The AMD G-T16R APU, with an average power of only 2.3 Watts, 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.
