AMD Geode™ GX 533@1.1W Processor*
Low-Power Solution for Small Form Factors

Download the PDF

Overview

The AMD Geode™ GX 533@1.1W processor* is designed to provide the ideal combination of low power, excellent performance and small size for applications that require a small form factor and minimal processor support. The GX 533@1.1W processor is intended for high-performance and low-power applications including digital set-top boxes, personal access devices, thin client applications, and other uses that leverage low-power consumption with optimized processor performance.

The AMD Geode GX 533@1.1W processor features 32KB of level 1 cache, DDR SDRAM support and integrated display controller, all in a 32-bit low-power x86 architecture. With typical power consumption of 1.1W and no heat sink, the GX 533@1.1W processor can help enable long battery life and efficient performance for mobile applications.

AMD Geode™ Solutions have received new model numbers to better reflect total performance beyond just megahertz. This presentation of attributes gives designers greater understanding of the capabilities of AMD Geode Solutions.

* This processor operates at 400MHz. Model numbers reflect performance as described here.


Product overview

Together with its AMD Geode™ CS5535 or CS5536 companion device, the AMD Geode GX 533@1.1W processor delivers the optimum balance between power consumption and performance. The GX 533@1.1W processor is powered by a new x86 core with support for MMX® and 3DNow!™ technology extensions. Built around the AMD GeodeLink™ architecture with an on-chip bandwidth of up to 6Gbps, the GX 533@1.1W processor supports high-quality Internet applications.
