Kontron ETX-OH T16R with AMD Embedded G-Series APU T16R

The ETX 3.0-compliant Kontron ETX-OH T16R incorporates the AMD Embedded G-Series APU T16R, which features a low average power consumption of only 2.3 W. While operating at the same power consumption level as the AMD Geode-LX-based solutions, it delivers up to three times the level of performance.

With its native PCI and ISA support, it provides a suitable upgrade path for AMD Geode-based ETX designs and for low-power systems with discontinued ETX modules. The module extends the availability of the ETX standard for at least five more years. OEMs in markets such as automation, infotainment, kiosk and medical can significantly increase the processing and graphic performance of their systems and effectively extend the life of their PCI/ISA-based applications.

This upgrade is an economical solution in terms of time and cost savings. Existing system designs and cooling solutions can continue to perform without modifications. The computer-on-module also utilises DDR3 memory, minimising memory costs, while enabling higher memory speeds and greater capacity. For users who want to update their applications with latest display technology, the ETX module offers native support for DP++ (DisplayPort/HDMI/DVI) onboard. Thus OEMs can easily increase the visual experience of their applications without changes to the carrier board.

Improved graphics performance and features due to the integrated AMD Radeon HD 6250 allow it to support the latest 3D graphic libraries such as DirectX 11 and OpenGL 3.2 and to deliver high-resolution BluRay and video streams of up to 1080p.
