Intel ultra low power Atom processors have gained much attention among vendors board after its official launch. While AMD does not seem to be doing well recently, there is a plan to release an Atom’s rival in both mobile and embedded markets. If AMD does not seem to be done well recently, there is a plan to release an atom rival in both mobile and embedded markets. Named as AMD Sempron BGA, it is expected to fight head to head with Intel Atom processors in these competitive market space. Named AMD Sempron BGA, it is intended to fight against the head to head with Intel Atom processors in these markets.
AMD Sempron BGA, or better known as the Bobcat is based on AMD’s Sempron core, that is just underclocked to 1.0GHz or 1.5GHz in order to reduce total power consumption to make it fit well into low thermal envelope requirement. is based on the AMD Sempron core, that is just underclocked to 1.0GHz or 1.5GHz in order to reduce total energy consumption to make it fit well into the low thermal envelope requirement. However, as compared to Intel’s Atom that could run at 1.1GHz or 1.6GHz, the TDP (Thermal Design Power) value of 8 watts is still quite high to be designed into any embedded and fanless application. However, compared to Intel Atom that could operate at 1.1GHz or 1.6GHz, the TDP (Thermal Design Power) value of 8 watts is still high enough to be designed and integrated fan. Nevertheless, its usage models could be targeted or well into NETBOOK nettop that may require less stringent power management system. However, the use of models could be targeted or nettop NETBOOK May that require less stringent power management system.

While this is still in very early stage, there is already some engagement with external board manufacturers like Ibase, an Taiwanese company to come out with a 3.5-inch ultra small form factor SBC board, IB885. Although this is still in very early stage, there is already some engagement with manufacturers Ibase as captain, a Taiwanese company to come out with a 3.5-inch ultra small form factor SBC board, IB885 . The board features an on board Sempron BGA that coupled with M690E northbridge and SB600 southbridge to provide a 3-chip solution with integrated graphics, 1GB DDR2 memory, an 800MHz HyperTransport link as well as some expansion interfaces such as USB host, and Gigabit Ethernet ports Compact Flash slot for external storage. The Council is composed of one board that Sempron BGA coupled with M690E northbridge and SB600 southbridge to provide a 3-chip solution with integrated graphics, 1GB of DDR2 memory, HyperTransport link at 800 MHz and expansion such as the interfaces USB host, Gigabit Ethernet ports and Compact Flash slot for external storage.
No word on pricing yet, the IB885 is expected to be available in limited quantities to vendors for evaluation board by end of October. No word yet on prices, IB885 should be available in limited quantities on board suppliers for evaluation by the end of October.
