AMD adds low power apu to Embedded G-Series

Looking to further reduce x86 power requirements for embedded designs, AMD has introduced a new dual core apu which it says offers high performance at approximately 3W average power.

The GX-210JA is being launched as part of the company's Embedded G-Series processor family, and is designed to use a third less power than current devices in the range. Target applications include controls and automation, digital gaming, communications infrastructure and visual embedded products including thin client, digital signage and medical imaging. "The new GX-210JA operates at an average of approximately 3W, enabling a new generation of fanless designs for content rich, multimedia and traditional workload processing," said Arun Iyengar, vice president and general manager, AMD Embedded Systems.
