AMD launches embedded graphics processor

BANGALORE, INDIA: Chipmaker AMD today introduced the AMD Radeon E6760 embedded discrete graphics processor.

The new AMD Radeon E6760 GPU is the first of its kind to offer embedded system designers the combination of OpenCL support along with support for six independent displays, said a press release.

"The AMD Radeon E6760 GPU provides customers with superior business economics through long lifecycle management and product stability," said Richard Jaenicke, director of Embedded Client Business for AMD.

He added that the embedded system designers faced with power and density constraints now have a solution that delivers the advanced 3D graphics and multimedia features they require in this performance-driven market.

The AMD Radeon E6760 GPU enables an immersive experience with desktop-level 3D graphics and multimedia features.

Product Features

AMD claims its new chip, the Radeon E6760, delivers 40 to 60 per cent more performance above its existing high end embedded graphics part (the E4690) across on a range benchmarks. Specifically, it delivers up to 576 GFLOPs, compared to 384 for the earlier part. The chip uses the same 40nm core in AMD's mainstream desktop graphics processors, says a report from EE Times

It comes with five years of planned supply availability. It can be paired with AMD's upcoming high-performance A-Series Accelerated Processing Units (APU) codenamed 'Llano' to offer additional graphics capability and additional parallel computing, power.
