SUNNYVALE, CA, May 07, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --AMD
(NYSE: AMD) today announced that its AMD Embedded G-Series
platform now supports Windows Embedded Compact 7, the next
generation of the Windows Embedded CE real-time operating
system. Windows Embedded Compact 7, paired with AMD Embedded
G-Series Accelerated Processing Units (APU) is optimized to
deliver feature-rich applications on small, specialized
devices for industries such as medical, retail and industrial
automation. This enables board, module and system OEMs, among
others, to develop a wide range of applications requiring
high performance and integrated graphics processing with
minimal size, power and cooling constraints.
"AMD is committed to providing our customers with the
broadest possible range of operating system support to help
them bring devices to market quickly and cost
effectively," said Buddy Broeker, director, AMD Embedded
Solutions. "Seamless support for Windows Embedded
Compact 7 helps ensure that AMD Embedded G-Series customers
are equipped to take full advantage of the many benefits
afforded via the combination of these leading
technologies."
AMD Embedded G-Series APUs set a new standard for high
performance processing and multimedia content delivery for
embedded designs. With the combination of AMD Radeon(TM)
graphics and the low-power "Bobcat" x86 core, AMD
Embedded G-Series APUs can provide superior
performance-per-watt ratios.
"We are excited AMD has expanded G-Series APU support
for Windows Embedded Compact 7, giving OEMs the resources to
drive innovation in a wide range of specialized
devices," said Steven Bridgeland, product manager for
Windows Embedded at Microsoft. "These advances will help
device manufacturers best leverage the Windows Embedded
Compact platform to build industry-leading technologies that
power intelligent systems."
Features available with Windows Embedded Compact 7 include
Silverlight for Windows Embedded, an updated version of
Internet Explorer with support for Adobe Flash 10.1, and
multi-touch support optimized for intuitive, natural input
capabilities and gesture-based interactions.
Available boards and modules supporting AMD Embedded G-Series
APUs and Windows Embedded Compact 7 include the MSM-eO/-N
PC/104-Plus SBC and others from Kontron, the CAPA111
3.5" SBC from Axiomtek and others listed in the
AMD-Based Embedded Product Catalog. For details regarding
available board support packages visit the AMD Embedded
Developers Support site.
