Asus, Gigabyte and MSI to Support Gear Up For First AMD Brazos and eBrazos Based Motherboards
Taiwanese motherboard makers are expected to release new
products products for AMD's 2011 low-power mobile platform
(code-named "Brazos") and the AMD Embedded G-Series platform
for embedded systems (code-named "eBrazos"), both based on
the first AMD Fusion Accelerated Processing Units (APUs)
The 2011 low-power mobile platforms feature the new 18-watt
AMD E-Series APU (code-named "Zacate") or the 9-watt AMD
C-Series APU (code-named "Ontario").
AMD Fusion APUs combine the processing of the CPU with the GPU on a single energy efficient chip, offering a better price/performance, 1080p HD playback and small form factors for new Mini-ITX and uATX designs.
Numerous motherboard designs based on the AMD E-Series APU are planned for retail channels and system builders from original design manufacturers (ODMs), including ASUS, GIGABYTE, MSI and SAPPHIRE. Additional motherboard designs based on the AMD Embedded G- Series platform for embedded systems are scheduled for Q1 2011 availability to enable the next generation of embedded computing devices from digital signage and medical imaging to casino gaming machines and point-of-sale kiosks.
