Geode is a series of x86-compatible system-on-a-chip (SoC) microprocessors and I/O companions produced by AMD that was targeted at the embedded computing market.

AMD bought the Geode business from National in August 2003 to augment its existing line of embedded x86 processor products.

The MediaGX-derived processors lack modern features such as SSE and a large on-die L1 cache but these are offered on the more recent Athlon-derived Geode NX.

LX brought many improvements, such as higher speed DDR, a re-designed instruction pipe, and a more powerful display controller.

Geode GX and LX processors are typically found in devices such as thin clients and industrial control systems.

Because of the relative performance, albeit higher PPW, of the GX and LX core design, AMD introduced the Geode NX, which is an embedded version of the Athlon processor, K7.

The Geode NX, with its strong FPU, is particularly suited for embedded devices with graphical performance requirements, such as information kiosks and casino gaming machines, such as video slots.

[6][7] In 2016 AMD updated the product roadmap announcing extension of last time buy and shipment for the LX series to 2019.

There are no official references to this processor except officials explaining that the batch of CPUs were "being shipped to specific customers", though it is clear it is a desktop Athlon XP CPU core instead of the Mobile Athlon XP-M derived Thoroughbred cores of the other Geode NX CPUs, and thus doesn't feature embedded application specific thermal envelope, power consumption and power management features.
