? Robo. Automacao. Touchscreen. AMD goes after Atom with embedded system on a chip. Wednesday, AMD launched its G-series platform, codenamed eBrazos, for embedded systems. In calling the G-series an "embedded" part, AMD is using the term the same way that Intel does: to designate systems that fall outside the scope of the traditional PC market. (Examples include point-of-sale terminals, slot machines, kiosk systems, digital signs, industrial controls, and so on.) eBrazos is fairly powerful for such applications, and given AMD's low prices it could help the company hold its own against Intel in this market. At the heart of eBrazos are two of AMD's "Bobcat" cores, paired with a DirectX11-class GPU on the same die. Bobcat is an out-of-order design, which makes it higher performance and higher power than Intel's Atom.
