This document provides an overview of processor advancements for embedded applications from AMD, focusing on their AMD Embedded R-Series and G-Series APU platforms. It discusses how CPUs and GPUs have transitioned to multi-core architectures for improved performance and efficiency. The document highlights several partner boards that combine AMD Embedded APUs with additional I/O functionality for applications like digital signage, gaming, and industrial controls. It concludes that as new innovations are introduced, embedded designers will create new opportunities using technologies like OpenCL.

The AMD Embedded R-Series platform delivers high-performance processing coupled with a premium high-definition visual experience in a solution that is still power efficient, enabling unprecedented integrated graphics and multi-display capabilities in embedded applications that can be compact and low power. The AMD R-Series APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) is designed to efficiently handle your advanced multimedia and computational workloads. With average power below 13 watts and discrete-class AMD Radeon™ graphics performance integrated into the AMD R-Series APU, applications that previously required a discrete graphics card can be developed in smaller form factors with lower power and cost. For more demanding graphics applications, AMD Radeon™ Dual Graphics technology can combine the processing power of AMD R-Series APUs and AMD Radeon™ Embedded 6000 Series GPUs to more than double graphics performance compared to using discrete graphics alone. x86 Core Clock Speed DDR3 x86 AMD-V™ Model Base/Boost L2 Cache GPU Speed Cores UVD1 3 Tech. 2 EVP3 Package Max TDP AMD Embedded R-Series APU – FS1r2 PGA R-464L 2.3/3.2 GHz AMD Radeon™ HD 7660G 2MB x 2 4 R-460H 1.9/2.8 GHz AMD Radeon™ HD 7640G FS1r2 DDR3-1600 Yes Yes Yes 35W R-272F 2.7/3.2 GHz AMD Radeon™ HD 7520G (722-PGA) 1 MB 2 R-268D 2.5/3.0 GHz AMD Radeon™ HD 7420G AMD Embedded R-Series APU – FP2 BGA R-460L 2.0/2.8 GHz AMD Radeon™ HD 7620G 25W 2 MB x 2 4 R-452L 1.6/2.4 GHz AMD Radeon™ HD 7600G FP2 19W DDR3-1600 Yes Yes Yes R-260H 2.1/2.6 GHz 2 MB AMD Radeon™ HD 7500G (827-BGA) 2 17W R-252F 1.7/2.3 GHz 1 MB AMD Radeon™ HD 7400G 1.

Figure 2 shows a high-level architectural diagram of the framework. To verify the viability of this ap- proach, we’ve implemented a full media center for Android on the AMD G-Series STB reference board. Before diving into the implementation details, let’s have a look at the hardware.
