Provider of embedded computing solutions, ARBOR Technology, has announced the release of the ARBOR EmETXe-a58M0 COM Express Type 6 Module. This module is based on the 2^nd gen AMD Embedded G-Series SOC (System On Chip) processors. They provide higher performance and a lower power draw thanks to an improved Jaguar+ CPU architecture and AMD Radeon 8000 graphics core.

The graphics engine speed has been increased up to 800MHz and the DDR3 interface up to 1,866MT/s. A function of the G-Series includes Core Boost Frequency to ensure appropriate processor overclocking.

The 2^nd gen AMD G-Series SOC on COM Express Compact modules is designed for low-power embedded applications. Compared to the previous AMD Embedded G-Series SOC, it provides higher performance per watt and lower TDP. This fanless module design is therefore ideal for cost-sensitive applications in the control and automation industry, digital gaming, communication infrastructure and graphics-intensive devices such as thin clients, digital displays or medical-imaging equipment.

The integrated AMD Radeon graphics supports DirectX 11.1 and OpenGL 4.2 for fast 2D and 3D image display. OpenCL 1.2 is also supported, enabling the execution of program code by the GPUs. The range of available graphics interfaces includes VGA and DisplayPort 1.2 as well as DVI/HDMI 1.4a for the direct control of two independent displays.

The COM Express Compact module provides 2x USB 3.0 SuperSpeed, 7x USB 2.0 ports, seven PCI Express x1 Gen 2 lanes, two SATA 6Gb/s ports, one SATA port, shared with optional SATA NANDrive, one Micro SD socket and a Gigabit Ethernet interface. ACPI 3.0 CPU power management and high-definition audio complete the feature set.
