AMD Embedded 3rd generation G-Series at electronica
Extending its COM Express product portfolio is SECO with the introduction of the AMD Embedded 3rd generation G-Series SOC-I, formerly codenamed 'Brown Falcon', by presenting an updated version of its COMe-A98-CT6 at electronica 2016.
In addition to the G-Series SOC-I 'Brown Falcon', the COMe-A98-CT6 is a COM Express compact type 6 module that’s also available with the AMD Embedded 3rd generation R-Series SOC, codenamed 'Merlin Falcon'. This solution features up to 4 Excavator x86 CPU cores with the latest Radeon graphics and I/O Controller on a single chip; each processor can scale the TDP down to 15W.
While the AMD Embedded R-Series SOC ('Merlin Falcon') is noted for its high performance graphics and power efficiency, offering power management features, the AMD Embedded G-Series I Family SOCs ('Brown Falcon') provide the highest processing power in the G-Series SOC portfolio. It’s optimised for demanding graphics and compute applications, supporting 4K multimedia and multi-display configurations, and offering dual channel DDR4 memory with error-correction code (ECC).
Both the offerings available for the SECO’s COMe-A98-CT6, from the AMD Embedded R-Series SOCs to the AMD Embedded G-Series I family SOCs, are excellent choices for demanding graphical requirements such as in applications like digital signage, kiosks, casino gaming, and many more, where scalable graphics performance make the difference.
