Product Overview
The AMD Geode™ GX thin client reference design kit (RDK) is a compact, low-power and high-performance system designed to help facilitate the next generation of thin client networked computing appliances. Building on AMD’s philosophy of delivering low total cost of ownership, the thin client reference design kit is optimized to provide value through all phases of the design and development cycle, and also serves as a powerful, near manufacture-ready reference design tool.

To purchase the AMD Geode™ GX Thin Client RDK Hardware, please contact our design partner, DT Research.

Powerful cost-optimized capabilities, small form factor
The AMD Geode GX thin client reference design kit is based on proven, 3rd-generation RDK technology, and provides a complete system design package that gives designers flexibility, versatility and enhanced capabilities – all in a small package (approximate dimensions 5.5" x 5"). An integral AMD Geode™ GX 533@1.1W processor* provides the flexibility of the x86 instruction set with the power to run current popular operating systems.

*This processor operates at 400MHz. Model numbers reflect performance as described here.

Commitment to low-power x86
The AMD Geode GX thin client reference design kit and other advanced development tools represent the AMD commitment
to low-power customer-centric solutions for the x86 thin client marketplace. The thin client RDK provides an integrated suite of support and development capabilities to help reduce development cost and time-to-market for thin client applications. The thin client RDK contains materials needed to quickly and efficiently move networked computing appliance solutions to market.
