Advanced Micro Devices this week introduced its most power-stingy G-Series APU for embedded systems to date, combining CPU and GPU capabilities in a System-on-a-Chip (SoC) design with a maximum power draw of 6 watts and a 3-watt average power draw. AMD's new dual-core, 1-GHz GX-210JA accelerated processing unit uses a third less power than the previous low-power leader in the chip maker's G-Series SoC family, the dual-core, 1-GHz GX-210HA with a maximum power draw of 9 watts. The GX-210JA features a dual-core, x86 CPU coupled with Radeon HD 8180 discrete-class graphics clocking at 225MHz, enterprise-class Error-Correction Code (ECC) memory support, and an integrated I/O controller. "The advance of APU processor design, the Surround Computing era, and the Internet of Things has created the demand for embedded devices that are low power but also offer excellent compute and graphics performance. AMD Embedded G-Series SOC products offer unparalleled compute, graphics and I/O integration, resulting in fewer board components, low-power use, and reduced complexity and overhead cost," Arun Iyengar, vice president and general manager of AMD's Embedded Systems unit, said in a statement.
