(UK).- Advantech-Innocore announced the upcoming global launch of the latest addition to the DPX-S-series, the DPX-S430 in line with AMD first official launch date. Based on the remarkable new AMD embedded platform (next generation ‘Fusion’) the DPX-S430 is a complete industrial computer platform for gaming applications.

Craig Stapleton, product director commented, “Being first to market with this next generation Fusion chipset was Advantech-Innocore’s goal and this should be realized as samples will be available as soon as AMD allows product using this latest technology to be released to the market.”

As with all DPX products, a full feature set of I/O, COMs and security designed specifically for gaming devices is included on the DPX-S430. It is in the area of integrated (chipset) graphics that the new product excels. The advanced AMD GPU provides high performance graphics for multiple independent displays using AMD EyeFinity technology.

The platform also allows the flexibility to add a graphics adapter card via a full PCIe x 16 v2.1 graphics card slot for high performance applications, multiple displays or for future in-field upgrades. The platform also supports AMD Dual Display acceleration where the chipset graphics engine works in co-ordination with discrete AMD Radeon GPUs such as E6760/E6460.

The revolutionary graphics performance is coupled with great compute power thanks to the next generation APU architecture. The board will be available with a range of APUs from Dual core through to Quad Core with support for AMD Turbo CORE technology.

Stapleton continues, “Both AMD and Intel are developing some significant improvements in chipset technology and for customers able to use integrated graphics these improvements provide a very cost attractive solution. Advantech-Innocore continues to create a roadmap of exceptional quality using the latest technology combined with in house manufacturing and local supply and service. Customers will be able to continue to rely on us as the market leader in this field provided cutting edge product for many years to come.”

Customers who would like to upgrade from their existing DPX-S series platforms can do so with little integration work due to the consistent mechanical and software footprint and the support of our global support network.

Further information on the DPX-S430 will be available closer to the launch time. Advantech’s launch will coincide with AMD’s formal launching of the platform.
