The new AMD Embedded Radeon E9260 and E9550 graphics processing units (GPUs) have been unveiled. This is after the success of the Polaris-based Radeon RX 480. The Radeon E9260 video card will be available next month. The Radeon E9550 will be released before the end of 2016.
Here are the specs for the Radeon E9260 and E9550:
Radeon E9260
According to Hot Hardware, the Radeon E9260 is similar to the Radeon RX 460. It has 14nm FinFET manufacturing process, 14 compute units, 896 stream processors, up to 2.5 TFLOPs of computing power and sub-50W TDP board power. It also has 4 GB of GDDR5 that uses a 128-bit memory interface.
It's available in versatile, compact Mobile PCI Express Module (MXM) and PCI Express form factors. It's planned longevity is five years. This will ensure support continuity for next-generation designs.
Radeon E9550
Hot Hardware also compared the E9550 as the embedded equivalent of the Radeon RX 480. It has 36 compute units, 2304 stream processor, a base clock of 1120 MHz and up to 5.8 TFLOPs at sub-95 TDP board power. Its 8 GB of GDDR5 uses a 256-bit memory interface running at 1750 MHz.
It is only available as an MXM module. The card's longevity rating is pegged at three years.
Both the E9260 and E9550 have 4K optimization. They are capable of multi-display: E9260 can support up to five displays and the E9550 can support up to six.
According to Anand Tech, the E9260 and E9550 are based on the Polaris 11 and Polaris 10 GPUs, respectively. They update the performance segments of AMD's embedded offerings.
AMD's Corporate VP and GM for Enterprise Solutions Scott Aylor has described the two new embedded video cards. He said that they offer compelling energy efficiency and performance for demanding graphics and parallel processing requirements.
He also revealed that they are available in a range of graphics card configurations. This is for seamless integration across various form factors.
According to Yahoo!, they are the industry's first discrete embedded graphics cards leveraging the new AMD Polaris architecture. They are also ideal for applications that require rich multimedia and 4K video. It will even work in power-constrained environments.
They could be used in immersive casino gaming, 4K teleconferencing and interactive digital whiteboards, medical imaging and transportation instrumentation.
