These parts look great for their market. I really like that AMD offers long term support for their G-Series chips. It makes designing products around them more cost effective, as it means you don't have to redesign simply because of parts availability.
I wondered what they meant by that as well, but apparently it's just another term for an ultra-thin client, essentially going back to a terminal on a mainframe.
What AMD need to do is either licence some of their really older soc tech to be used for ARM Android TV box power levels or produce them themselves. Nvidia has took it GPU tech to ARM socs, and while ARM license some AMD GPU tech, AMD could do better to push the ability of these GPU. Some of the ARM based socks today use really old graphic card technology that Radeon and Nvidia crushed under foot ages ago. AMD do not play to their strengths and knowledge base of experience. IMHO
