AMD G-T48N
Benchmarks & Specs

The AMD G-T48N, manufactured using the 40 nm process, was a remarkable processor solution. It was based on the Ontario architecture, better known as Bobcat. This processor was primarily designed for energy-efficient, compact systems. Its integrated graphics chip, the AMD Radeon HD 6310, enabled basic multimedia tasks.

For its class, this chip offered good graphics performance in an energy-efficient package. The low power consumption of the AMD G-T48N made it particularly attractive. It was frequently used in netbooks and thin clients. We know this characteristic was always of great importance for such devices. The complete integration of CPU and GPU on a single chip offered a clear advantage.

This allowed manufacturers to realize smaller and passively cooled devices. With 1 MB Level 3 Cache, the processor could access a useful data buffer. The maximum memory bandwidth of 9 GB/s was absolutely sufficient for the requirements at the time. This chip was not primarily designed for the highest computing performance.

Rather, it convinced with a balanced mix of functionality and efficiency. The AMD G-T48N showed that even smaller processors can play an important role.
