New Sempron for Socket S1 embedded and SBC systems

AMD today announced the latest addition to the embedded product lineup, the Sempron 2100+ processor (http://www.amd.com/us-en/Corporate/VirtualPressRoom/0,,51_104_543%7E117765,00.html). The new Sempron 2100+ has a thermal design power rating of nine watts. With the low TDP rating, the Sempron 2100+ is ideal for fan-less embedded systems.

AMD packages the Sempron 2100+ in a Socket S1 package. The Sempron 2100+ is compatible with the AMD M690T (http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=6703) chipset. The new Sempron 2100+ is the first embedded targeted processor from AMD to feature AMD64 technology.

“By expanding our product portfolio with this new, very low power version of the highly successful AMD Sempron processor and extending the temperature support in our Geode line, AMD is delivering on our promise of customer-centric innovation for a range of embedded markets,” Embedded Computing Solutions Division Vice President Greg White said. “You will continue to see AMD offer our embedded customers the products and tools they need to get high performance, very low power products to market quickly.”

Expect the Sempron 2100+ to make its way into embedded and SBCs. AAEON and Arbor offer boards compatible with the new processor.

How about those new quad-core Phenom processors that are coming out soon? I can't wait to get 1! http://www.amd.com/us-en/Corporate/VirtualPressRoom/0,,51_104_543~117412,00.html

Fanless? What about the heat from the BIOS and the RAM? Not exactly insignificant.

Perhaps this technology could be migrated to such devices and GPUs.

Teck182 now that is what I am talking about! I am drooling till the day they are released! :5obsessed:

[tek182]

So in other words, with a BIOS upgrade your current AM2 motherboard should be good to go! WooHoo!!!!!!! Now that is news!!!!

Tek182 :shocked:

But they is made for Notebooks. How about this processor in a Desktop and how powerful it is? Should be interesting see the results of Benchmarking.

I have a AMD 3200+. If AMD 2100 should be faster and more powerful it should be great. As Steve Lux say if this prosessor should crunch a WU as takes 99 % of the recources day and night I think the temperature should rice dramatically.

A laptop is normally made for low usage such Office and Power Point and photo editing. It is a large difference use it as a cruncher as we all know.

And how about its life length if it runs hard many years?:icon_wink:

They were talking about Desktop and Laptop processors in that article I posted. For the next socket design, they are going to be using DDR3 for RAM. So, that means new RAM, CPU and motherboard. But they are going to be producing AM2 motherboard versions too! At least my motherboard is going to be good for another couple years. lol :icon_mrgreen:

I am actually going with the 2000 and the 8000 series to justify the cost and expense of running these systems 24/7. 2 core on one board and 4 core or more on one board. Just imagine 4 Quad Cores on one board, that comes to 16 cores working from one machine!

That's putting a lot of eggs in one basket for a home cruncher... 16 cores on one board. If it broke, it would give one a *massive* shock...:sad5:

Nice avatar.... :)

I have been watching the tyan & MSI SMP boards
One of the options I have been checking out is this one
http://www.ipspty.com.au/index.php?comp=op3
NOTE - the prices are in AU$

It's a bit rich for my wallet at the moment so I have been focusing more on the high-end workstation options

it is more likely that this setup will upgrade to the quad-cores when the arrive than the 4/8 offerings which are a lot more chipset dependant.

Nice ...

Going back to this new S1 CPU, Would it work in my Compaq V2000? it has an ML-28 right now, but it is S1. ... so confuzled:dontknow:

Get a backplane board, install as many dual AM2 CPU boards as you want, load Linux and then you would be rocking! OOPS, I just gave away my idea of a dream system! LMAO! :icon_lol:
