Design Without Compromise
The most performance per watt available in the industry today

Product Overview

The AMD Geode™ LX Processor brings x86 power and versatility to applications for entertainment, business, education, and embedded markets. The AMD Geode LX processors’ integrated, innovative architecture delivers the most performance per watt available in the industry today, 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 LX 700@0.8W processor operates at a maximum of 3.1W (TDP) and 1.3W is typical at 433 MHz. The LX 800@0.9W processor operates at a maximum power of 3.6W (TDP) and 1.8W is typical at 500 MHz. The LX 900@1.5W processor* operates at a maximum power of 5.1W (TDP) and 28W is typical at 600 MHz.

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 chipset, which operates at 1.9W typical at 433MHz and at 2.4W typical at 500MHz, 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.

The AMD Geode LX processors are the next step in helping AMD redefine the way x86 processors address the growing need for versatile power and performance for a variety of consumer devices. It is the latest example of AMD’s commitment to make x86-based technology available for a variety of applications – from high-end servers to low-power embedded applications.
