The new SOM-ETX compliant CPU module is equipped with the AMD Geode™ LX processor and the AMD Geode™ CS5536 companion device to provide the perfect balance of computing performance with low power consumption. SOM-4455 uses the same mechanical design and layout as its predecessor providing an ideal upgrade path for AMD Geode GX1 processor-based systems. Customers’ own application-specific carrier board allows embedded integrators to focus on their applications saving up to 80 percent of overall design and development effort. SOM-4455 performs better but is still as economical as its predecessor.
