AMD Extends Geode Line
By
Advanced Micro Device’s (AMD’s) new Geode LX800 low-power embedded processor is aimed at desk-top style devices. The new Geode, with it’s XP embedded support, opens the market up to developers and will allow production of inexpensive embedded consumer devices.
“It gives great performance at a lot less power and heat,” said Charles Dittmer, division marketing manager for AMD’s PCS group.
Dittmer said AMD’s embedded division caters to the expanding market for mobile devices. The standard x86 architecture enables designers to create small form-factor devices that can run full Windows applications.
