Micro-technology company, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), has announced a new low-power G-T16R embedded processor that has been specifically designed for using electronics focused on the medical industry.
The processor is expected to be particularly popular for tablet devices that are increasingly being adopted in hospitals across the world for efficient note making.
The low-power benefit of the G-T16R sets it apart from processors currently in use, which quickly drain battery life very quickly. Analysts have said that it could also prove helpful in processing graphics-intensive medical scans.
AMD’s general manager, Arun Iyengar, said that the processor is likely to be a key step forward in the embedded technology field.
“With the AMD G-T16R APU, we were striving for that critical balance of performance, power efficiency and cost for power, and cost-sensitive embedded applications, and we've achieved it,” he explained. “This new APU helps to enable small form factor and fan-less designs with power consumption of just 2.3 watts on average.”
The benefit of making medical notes on tablet devices has started to take significant hold in British hospitals with a number projects and medical equipment sales deals announced concerning them. For example, London’s Royal Free hospital only this month announced a deal that has seen tablet devices adopted on a number of its wards.
