AMD announces new embedded G-series SoC

Based on Jaguar CPU core

AMD has announced a new embedded system-on-chip (SoC) G-Series platform that will feature no less than five different SKUs, based on Jaguar CPU architecture and AMD Radeon 8000 series GPUs.

The new G-Series embedded lineup ranges from a 25W down to 9W TDP. The entire lineup will be based on next-generation Jaguar CPU core with shared L2 cache, ECC and fast memory support. Some, all to be precise, four out five SKUs, will also feature AMD Radeon HD 8000 series graphics with UVD 3 hardware acceleration, DirectX 11, OpenGL and OpenCL support. AMD claims that this is the perfect platform for low-power and high-performance designs thanks to integrated GPU, UVD, support for DP, HDMI, VGA and LVDS display outputs as well as support for small form factor storage products thanks to USB and SATA I/O.

The SKU lineup of the G-Series kicks off with GX-420CA SoC, a quad-core part that ticks at 2GHz for the CPU part and features Radeon HD 8400E graphics clocked at 600MHz. It has a 25W TDP. The GX-415GA is also a quad-core part clocked at lower 1.5GHz CPU clock and paired up with Radeon HD 8330E graphics part clocked at 500MHz for TDP of 15W.

The lineup continues with two dual-core parts, the GX-217GA and the GX-210HA. The GX-217GA is a 15W TDP dual-core part that works at 1.65GHz, paired up with Radeon HD 8280E GPU clocked at 450MHz. The GX-210HA has lowest 9W TDP and works at 1GHz for CPU part and comes paired up with Radeon HD 8210E graphics part clocked at 300MHz.

The last but not the least is the quad-core GX-416RA SoC with 15W TDP and no GPU part. The CPU part is clocked at 1.6GHz.

The entire lineup should be available for system integrators while prices range from US $49 to US $79.
