SAN JOSE, Calif.– AMD has released of the AMD M690 Chipset for Embedded Designs, which it said provides a stable and reliable commercial embedded computing platform that includes cutting-edge graphics and performance features along with outstanding connectivity options.
Supporting the availability of the chipset, the company also announced the AMD Socket S1 and AMD M690 chipset development board, for high-performance capabilities with a low power envelope.
The AMD M690 chipset gives embedded system designers a choice when using the AMD64 technology. The company said the chipset has graphics and enhanced video performance and numerous display and connectivity options – key capabilities for next-generation thin client, point of sale, gaming and single board computing systems.
“It’s our goal to deliver superior solutions to embedded designers that encapsulate the best features available on the market,” said Greg White, vice president of AMD’s embedded computing solutions division. “By adding the AMD M690 chipset to our embedded offerings, AMD helps designers build their projects with a packaged solution to best fit their needs, while giving end customers the performance and computing power needed for their unique environments.”
The AMD Socket S1 and AMD M690 chipset development board capitalizes on the scalable power and performance options of the AMD Turion 64, Turion 64 X2 Dual-Core and Mobile Sempron processors, and serves as a comprehensive evaluation and development platform for designers looking to create small form factor or graphics-centric embedded solutions.
In addition to harnessing the graphics and video performance of the AMD 690 chipset, the board integrates PCI and PCI Express® expansion slots, USB 2.0, CRT/DVI/LVDS display options, high-definition audio, and gigabit Ethernet onto a standard ATX form factor board to help speed time-to-market for embedded client and single board computer designs.
