AMD on Wednesday announced what it claims is the world’s first accelerated processing unit for embedded systems, the Embedded G-Series. The G-Series is the embedded version of Fusion APUs the company announced earlier this month. It consists of a low-power x86 CPU combined with a DirectX 11 graphics processing unit and a parallel processing engine, all on one piece of silicon. G-Series processors will target graphics-intensive products such as digital signs, Internet-ready set-top boxes, mobile and desktop thin clients, and point of sale kiosks, among others.
