GA-5000 is a high-end 3D gaming board that delivers advanced graphic performance with a high degree of security. “To ensure the integrity of the application software GA-5000 provides an array of security mechanisms that include TPM, FPGA, an Authentication chip, AEWIN Locking, Boot ROM, and more.” says Phil Wu, General Manager of Joii Game Ideas, an AEWIN gaming manufacturer customer.
“GA-5000 makes an ideal system core for amusement games, as well as arcade, roulette and video slot machines,” continues Wu.
Impressive Computing Power
"With its dual PCIe x16 high-end graphic card, GA-5000 can support ATI CrossFire and Hybrid CrossFire technology that enhance 2D/3D multimedia performance dramatically," says Ken Huang, CTO of AEWIN Technologies Co., Ltd.
"Built around the AMD AM2+ socket, the GA-5000 supports a wide range of processors that range from the cost-effective AMD Athlon Single-Core processor to performance-driven Phenom Quad Core. This flexibility makes the GA-5000 suitable for mid- to high-end amusement and casino applications," adds Huang.

Dedicated Gaming Market Design
“The I/O of gaming machines is always broken. This is an annoying problem faced by all gaming vendors. With the photo-coupler protection of each input, GA-5000 can protect the circuitry from damage while supporting ESD protection,” explains Victor Liao, Senior Product/Sales Manager of AEWIN Technologies Co., Ltd. “Furthermore, the board features an anti-interference function which can help prevent any unpredictable data loss,” continues Liao.
“Profit-sharing is a common business model between machine vendor and field operator. However, the model can’t work without a non-changeable timer,” adds Liao. “AEWIN recognizes this customer needs and makes the profit-sharing model possible by adding a 2nd RTC. This helps the customer by enabling a flexible and versatile business strategy.”
