Hot on heels of the debut of AMD’s Embedded G-Series SOCs (system-on-chips), Win Enterprises announced a 3.5-inch form-factor SBC (single-board computer) based on the new parts. The MB-60830 SBC is available in dual- and quad-core models clocked up to 2GHz, provides multiple display outputs, dual Mini-PCIe expansion, and typical SBC I/O interfaces, and can support 0 to 60° C operation.

AMD announced its new Embedded G-Series SOC line last month, which adds a Fusion I/O controller hub to the CPU and GPU functions integrated within the company’s APU (accelerated processing unit) chips. The G-Series SOCs also feature a faster new “Jaguar” CPU core (fabbed in 28nm dimensions), double the APUs’ shared L2 cache, at 2MB, and a faster new Radeon 8400-series GPU. All this is said to enable faster performance and smaller footprints while adding only slightly to power consumption (9-25W TDPs).

Thanks to the high integration of AMD’s Embedded G-Series SOC, the MB-60830 packs a lot of functionality within its 5.75 x 4.0 inch (146 x 101 mm) footprint. The board’s applications are expected to include digital signage, gaming, medical imaging, kiosks/POS, thin clients, and factory automation, says the company. Its 8-32VDC power input and 0 to 60° C operating temperature capabilities should make it a good candidate for portable, mobile, and industrial applications.
