The AMD Embedded G-Series platform is an integrated circuit that combines a low-power CPU and discrete-level GPU into a single chip called an Accelerated Processing Unit (APU). It provides high-performance graphics and video capabilities in a low power and compact package suitable for embedded applications like digital signage and set-top boxes. Key benefits include exceptional performance per watt, support for high-resolution displays, and lower system costs through integration and a long product lifecycle.

The AMD G-Series platform is a flexible solution that in the same Enabling Innovative Small Form Factor Designs - Smaller foot package offers scalable choices for the level of CPU performance, print and low power solution reduces overall system costs. power efficiency, and visual experience. APU configurations are > The integration of the APU reduces the foot print of a traditional available with single or dual x86 cores, at 9W or 18W thermal three-chip platform to two chips, the APU and its companion design power (TDP), and two levels of graphics and video controller hub. This simplifies the design, requiring fewer performance. Each APU supports single or dual-independent board layers and a smaller power supply, further driving down high resolution displays and exceptional multi-media capability system costs. with hardware decode support for H.264, VC-1, MPEG2, WMV, DivX and Adobe Flash. When paired with the A50M I/O controller Reduced Costs over the Product Life Cycle - A single, scalable hub with support for advanced interfaces such as 6Gb/s SATA, platform design that allows OEMs to reduce development costs, Generation 2 PCI Express®, and HD Audio, the AMD G-Series optimize solutions and increase product stability. platform delivers a low power, value oriented solution for applications > A single APU architecture with an array of performance requiring a better balance of CPU and multimedia performance. options, AMD Embedded G-Series platform lets OEMs utilize For high-end, full-featured platforms, the A55E I/O controller hub is a single board design to enable solutions that span from an alternative paring choice with added features of Gigabit Ethernet entry-level to high-end. The commonality of the scalable MAC, RAID (0/1/5/10) support with FIS-based switching, and PCI platform design across multiple product variants can help Local bus support. reduce development costs, simplify the supply chain and reduce operational complexity. > AMD’s embedded lifecycle, with planned availability of at least 5 years, helps to ensure a long life for an OEM design. Note 1: ATI Avivo HD is a technology platform that includes a broad set of capabilities offered by certain AMD Radeon graphics processors. Full enablement of some ATI Avivo HD capabilities may require complementary products.
