Product Overview

The AMD Geode™ LX 700@0.8W processor*, the AMD Geode LX 800@0.9W processor**, and the AMD Geode LX 900@1.5W processor*** bring x86 power and versatility to applications for entertainment, business, education, and embedded markets. The AMD Geode LX 900@1.5W processor is the most advanced AMD Geode LX processor for demanding embedded applications. This level of capability may not be needed for every application, but when premium performance is needed, the AMD Geode LX 900@1.5W processor delivers. The AMD Geode LX processor’s integrated, innovative architecture is one of the most energy-efficient x86 solutions in the industry and can lead to longer battery life and enable small form-factor designs.

Design without limits

The AMD Geode LX processor family offers new levels of performance and power versatility in an x86-based embedded processor. The AMD Geode LX 900@1.5W processor operates at a maximum power of 5.1W (TDP). The AMD Geode LX 800@0.9W processor operates at a maximum power of 3.6W (TDP) and 1.8W is typical at 500MHz, while the AMD Geode LX 700@0.8W consumes a maximum power of 3.1W (TDP) and 1.3W typically at 433MHz.

These devices are exceptional for such applications as thin clients, interactive set-top boxes, single board computers, Personal Access Devices (PADs), mobile Internet, and entertainment. Designers can now focus on developing end products that efficiently meet consumer needs with far fewer limits imposed by software porting or compatibility.

The AMD Geode LX processors deliver the low-power x86 performance to design innovative and creative new products without compromise. Coupled with the AMD Geode™ CS5536 companion device, the combined chipsetchipset, which operates at 1.9W typical at 433MHz, 2.4W typical at 500MHz, and 3.2W typical at 600MHz offers designers a complete set of features that can deliver full desktop functionality to embedded and portable devices.

Capabilities include:

• Natively run all Windows® and Linux based applications
• Full Internet browser experience on portable devices
• No software porting needed – programs run without modification
• Access to the full universe of 32-bit x86 software
• Support for any type of connectivity

x86 Everywhere:
Changing the way developers think about application design

The AMD commitment to the x86 marketplace – with a range of high-performance products like the AMD Geode™ LX processors – gives OEMs an easy and effective way to achieve product differentiation and shorten time-to-market cycles.
