Product Brief

AMD Embedded G-Series

System-on-Chip (SOC)

The embedded evolution

continues with x86 CPU,

integrated discrete-class

GPU and i/o controller

on the same die.

Product Overview

The AMD Embedded G-Series SOC platform is a high-performance,

low-power System-on-Chip (SOC) design, featured with enterprise-

class error-correction code (ECC) memory support, dual and quad-

core variants, integrated discrete-class GPU, and I/O controller on the

same die.

The AMD G-Series SOC achieves superior performance per watt in the

low-power x86 microprocessor class of products when running multiple

industry-standard benchmarks.1 This helps enable the delivery of an

exceptional HD multimedia experience and provides a heterogeneous

computing platform for parallel processing. The small-footprint, ECC-

capable SOC sets the new foundation for a power-e cient platform

for content-rich multimedia processing and workload processing that is

well suited for a broad variety of embedded applications.

Superior Performance Per Watt

The AMD Embedded G-Series SOC platform delivers an exceptionally

high-deﬁ nition visual experience and the ability to take advantage of

heterogeneous computing while maintaining a low-power design.

• AMD G-Series SOC’s next-generation “Jaguar”-based CPU

o ers 113% improved CPU performance vs. AMD G-Series APU

and greater than a 2x (125%) advantage vs. Intel Atom when

running multiple industry-standard compute-

intensive benchmarks.2

• AMD G-Series SOC’s advanced GPU, supporting DirectX® 11.1,

OpenGL 4.2, and OpenCL™ 1.23, enables parallel processing and

high-performance graphics processing that provides up to 20%

improvement vs. AMD G-Series APU and a 5x (430%) advantage

vs. Intel Atom when running multiple industry-standard

graphics-intensive benchmarks.4

• Excellent compute and graphics performance with enhanced hardware

acceleration deliver up to 70% overall improvement vs. AMD G-Series

APU and over 3x (218%) the overall performance advantage vs. Intel

Atom in embedded applications when running multiple industry-

standard compute- and graphics-intensive benchmarks.5

Enabling Low-Power, Innovative Small Form

Factor Designs

The AMD G-Series SOC is a small-footprint and low-power solution

that reduces overall system costs.

• The SOC design o ers 33% footprint reduction compared to AMD

G-Series APU two-chip platform,6 simplifying design with fewer

board layers and simpliﬁ ed power supply.

• AMD G-Series SOC enables fan-less design that further helps drive

down system cost and enhance system reliability by eliminating

moving parts.

• With an array of performance options and universal pin

compatibility across the AMD G-Series SOC portfolio, the AMD

G-Series SOC platform allows OEMs to utilize a single board

design to enable solutions from entry-level to high-end.

• The SOC design enables new levels of performance in small

SBC (single board computer) and COMs (computer-on-modules)

form factors.

• AMD G-Series SOCs support Thermal Design Proﬁ les (TDPs) from

5W to 25W and o er dynamically conﬁ gurable TDP capabilities.

Optimizing Business Value

The AMD Embedded G-Series SOC platform brings performance

and e ciency with desirable features, delivering lower TCO and

higher ROI.

• Supporting ECC memory and providing a dedicated Platform

Security Processor (PSP) compatible with ARM® TrustZone,

AMD G-Series SOC platforms will help to penetrate markets

previously inaccessible to x86 products in these power envelopes,

at this price point.

• The AMD G-Series SOC helps achieve higher system quality,

reliability, and energy e ciency, which contribute to overall

lower TCO.

• Multiple performance levels o er upgrade paths to protect

software and hardware ecosystem costs.
