AMD reveals its Embedded Product Roadmap
VARINDIA- INDIA'S FRONTLINE IT MAGAZINE
As a part of its ambidextrous strategy to focus on the high-growth embedded,AMD(NYSE:AMD) disclosed its roadmap for the fast-growing embedded computing market. The new lineup includes x86 accelerated processing units (APUs) and central processing units (CPUs). These additions are designed to enable the embedded industry's engineering community with more choices to match their exact design needs, and are designed to offer improvements in performance-per-watt and performance-per-dollar.
A recent VDC Research report indicates the market for CPUs in traditional and intelligent embedded systems will grow 36 per cent from roughly 330 million units in 2013 to more than 450 million units by 2016 with x86 and ARM architectures accounting for 82 percent of the total addressable market (TAM).
Arun Iyengar, Vice-President & General Manager, AMD Embedded Solutions, said, "AMD is committed to providing the embedded community with the solutions required to succeed in today’s transformative market as it continues to expand at an unprecedented rate. We are addressing them by providing embedded design engineers with a range of solutions backed by our embedded longevity programme for supply stability assurance to fit their every need."
In 2014, AMD plans to bring to market two new high-performance AMD Embedded R-Series processor families; the "Hierofalcon" CPU SOC family based on the ARM Cortex-A57 architecture and the "Bald Eagle" APU and CPU offering based on the x86 microprocessor architecture codenamed "Steamroller......See More
