These products are said to expand upon the low power capabilities of the AMD Embedded G-Series SoC platform, bringing scalable performance, power, and price across the CPU, GPU, multimedia, and I/O controller hardware, helping to lower development costs. The G-Series processors are claimed to deliver immersive, graphically rich experiences across a range of platforms, including gaming, digital signage, imaging, and industrial control.
The new additions to the lineup are suitable for thin clients, IP set-top boxes, and TVs, casino gaming, industrial control and automation, digital signage, and communications networks. The new models include ‘Excavator’ x86 CPU cores and 3rd generation Graphics Core Next (GCN) graphics with support for OpenGL ES, OpenCL, DirectX 12, and EGL.
The Embedded G-Series LX SoC is a low-power x86 SoC offering advanced multimedia and display features. It features the ‘Jaguar’ CPU core with support for Error Correcting Memory (ECC) and GCN, as well as support for DirectX 11.2, OpenGL 4.3, and OpenCLTM 1.2. The Embedded G-Series LX SoC is suited for applications including retail point-of-sale terminals, digital signage, arcade gaming, and industrial control.
