AMD Launches G-Series APU w/ 6W Max TDP – AMD GX-210JA APU

By Nathan Kirsch

AMD today announced a new low-power Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) in the AMD G-Series SOC family with the GX-210JA, further reducing x86 power requirements for embedded designs. The new GX-210JA APU, a full System-on-Chip (SoC) design, uses one-third less energy than the previous low-power Embedded G-Series SOC product while providing industry-leading graphics capabilities.

At only 6 watts maximum thermal design power (TDP), and approximately 3 watts expected average power1, this new member of the G-Series SOC family will enable additional fanless designs for a variety of applications ranging from industrial controls and automation, digital gaming, communications infrastructure and visual embedded products including thin client, digital signage and medical imaging. The AMD Embedded G-Series SOC platform, including the GX-210JA, is currently shipping.

AMD G-Series APU Models Available:

  • GX-420CA SOC with AMD Radeon HD 8400E Graphics
    • Quad-core, 25W TDP, CPU freq. 2.0GHz, GPU freq. 600MHz
  • GX-415GA SOC with AMD Radeon HD 8330E Graphics
    • Quad-core, 15W TDP, CPU freq. 1.50GHz, GPU freq. 500MHz
  • GX-217GA SOC with AMD Radeon HD 8280E Graphics
    • Dual-core, 15W TDP, CPU freq. 1.65GHz, GPU freq. 450MHz
  • GX-210HA SOC with AMD Radeon HD 8210E Graphics
    • Dual-core, 9W TDP, CPU freq. 1.0GHz, GPU freq. 300MHz
  • GX-416RA SOC
    • Quad-Core, 15W, CPU Freq. 1.6GHz, No GPU
  • GX-210JA SOC with AMD Radeon HD 8180 Graphics
    • Dual-core, 6W TDP, CPU freq. 1.0GHZ, GPU freq. 225MHZ

“The advance of APU processor design, the Surround Computing era, and The Internet of Things has created the demand for embedded devices that are low power but also offer excellent compute and graphics performance,” said Arun Iyengar, vice president and general manager, AMD Embedded Systems. “AMD Embedded G-Series SOC products offer unparalleled compute, graphics and I/O integration, resulting in fewer board components, low-power use, and reduced complexity and overhead cost. The new GX-210JA operates at an average of approximately 3 watts, enabling a new generation of fanless designs for content-rich, multimedia and traditional workload processing.”
