AMD Expands Embedded Graphics Lineup

SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwired - Sep 29, 2015) - AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today announced multiple new discrete AMD Embedded Radeon™ graphics options suitable for multiple form factors. The suite of products is specifically designed to advance the visual and parallel processing capabilities of embedded applications. The graphics cards represent continued AMD commitment to embedded market innovation, providing engineers with more choices to achieve their design goals, from leading performance to energy efficiency.

The new offerings cover a broad range of needs, from 192 GFLOPS to 3 TFLOPS of single precision performance, and from 20 to less than 95 watts of thermal design power. The products are offered as a Multi-Chip Module (MCM), Mobile PCI Express^® Module (MXM) and PCIe^® options, with AMD offering the only MCM solutions. All of these products offer extended support and longevity. The new discrete graphics cards offer the right balance of performance, power and graphics memory size, to meet the needs of most customers.

"The demand for rich, vibrant graphics in embedded systems is greater than ever before, and that demand is growing," said Scott Aylor, corporate vice president and general manager, AMD Embedded Solutions. "Our latest additions to the embedded product lineup help designers build mesmerizing user experiences with 4K multi-screen installations and 3-D and interactive displays. In addition, the powerful capabilities of our GPUs can address the toughest parallel compute challenges." 

Three Levels of Performance

The graphics cards span three levels of performance within the embedded market: Ultra-High Performance, High Performance and Power Efficient. These offerings are as follows:

• Ultra-High Performance: The AMD Embedded Radeon™ E8950MXM Module, the highest performing embedded graphics processing unit (GPU) from AMD.
• High Performance: The AMD Embedded Radeon™ E8870 Series (MXM and PCIe), offering high performance solutions for virtually any embedded application.
• Power Efficient: The AMD Embedded Radeon™ E6465 Series (MCM, MXM and PCIe) providing excellent processing performance at low levels of power consumption.

E8950MXM

The new AMD Embedded Radeon E8950MXM Module is an incredibly powerful discrete GPU that is well-suited for GPGPU compute and built for 4K applications with support for 4K decode, 4K encode, and up to six 4K displays. This product is ideal for high-end casino and arcade gaming machines, medical imaging devices and military/aerospace applications. The MXM module is a smaller form factor solution than standard commercial GPUs, making it ideal for systems with small space requirements, such as airplane cockpit controls and ultrasound machines.
