The
AMD GX-217GA, a processor for energy-efficient embedded systems, offered a well-considered solution. It was based on the
Temash (
Jaguar) architecture, manufactured using the then-advanced 28 nm process. This allowed for remarkably low power consumption, ideal for many compact devices.
A prominent feature was the integrated graphics solution. The AMD Radeon HD 8280 delivered a quite usable visual output for the time. It allowed manufacturers to forgo separate graphics cards. This not only saved space, but also costs. With 1 MB Level 2 Cache, the processor was well-equipped for its tasks.
Its memory bandwidth of 13 GB/s efficiently supported the integrated graphics. It was often found in thin clients or industrial PCs. We experienced it as a reliable and low-maintenance partner. The
AMD GX-217GA was designed to provide a balanced
performance for specific applications. It represented a generation of SoCs that paved the way for further miniaturization.
