The Raspberry Pi’s enormous success has sparked new announcements from several companies hoping to capitalize on the device’s popularity. Last week, Via Technologies announced new ARM-based socs it calls “Rock” and “Paper.” This week, AMD is launching its own platform in cooperation with Sage Electronic Engineering.
The kit, dubbed the Gizmo Explorer, contains a dual-core AMD G-series embedded APU running at 1GHz. The Radeon GPU is clocked at 280MHz, with the entire 4-inch x 4-inch board rated for a sub-10W. Retail price for the kit is listed at $199. Included onboard is a 15-pin VGA output (1920×1080), 10/100 ethernet, 1x SATA port, 1GB of DDR3-1066 RAM, and three audio jacks.
