AMD says it is looking to grow its business in markets outside the PC industry, with an emphasis on embedded systems.
The processor firm has announced its latest embedded system-on-chip (SOC) platform based on the AMD next-generation “Jaguar” CPU architecture and AMD Radeon 8000 series graphics.
The latest Embedded G-Series SOC platform more than doubles CPU performance compared to the prior generation AMD Embedded G-Series APU.
It includes support for DirectX 11.1, OpenGL 4.2x and OpenCL 1.22 that enable parallel processing and as a result there is a 20% boost in graphics performance over the previous generation.
The x86-compatible processor system is available with 9W – 25W options.
The AMD Embedded G-Series SOC supports Windows Embedded 8 and Linux.
