It runs at clock frequencies of up to 1.6-Ghz and consumes of the order of 10 to 20-W.
Chip package occupies a 890 square millimeter footprint and includes an AMD Fusion I/O controller and hub IC.
AMD said it expects the Embedded-G to find use in graphics-intensive applications such as digital signage, internet-ready set top boxes, mobile and desktop thin clients,
casino gaming machines, point-of-sale kiosks, and small form factor PCs, as well as numerous single board computers (SBCs).
