New Mobile PCI-X module and Graphics card
from AMD for embedded systems
AMD has introduced the ATI Radeon E4690, a new Mobile PCI
Express module (MXM) that delivers Blazing-Fast graphics
for embedded systems.
The ATI Radeon E4690 MXM features more than triple the
3D graphics performance of previously available solutions
with low CPU utilization and high picture quality. With
its massively parallel, programmable architecture, the ATI
Radeon E4690 MXM is suitable for compute intensive, embedded
applications such as digital signage, image recognition,
signal processing and surveillance, arcade and casino games,
medical imaging.
The key features of the ATI Radeon E4690 MXM are,
512MB of on-board GDDR3 memory, 320 shader processors,
a comprehensive set of display output options and adjustable
system clocks for exacting power and performance requirements
Offers support for both Microsoft DirectX 10.1 and AMD's
Unified Video Decoder 2 (UVD 2)
Provides graphics support coupled with high quality video
playback performance
Incorporating ATI PowerPlay intelligent power management
technology, it optimizes power consumption and enable exceptional
performance per Watt for power sensitive embedded applications
With ATI stream technology it can replace system hardware
components (e.g. FPGAs, DSPs etc.), to reduce overall system
power, size, and cost
"As the graphics requirements for embedded systems
continue to increase, AMD has armed the ATI Radeon E4690
MXM with features that are important to our customers and
done so within an industry-standard specification that helps
simplify design, development and market delivery,"
said Richard Jaenicke, director of Embedded Discrete Graphics
for AMD. "Based on the successful ATI Radeon? E4690
GPU, the ready-made ATI Radeon E4690 MXM solution provides
the graphics performance, energy efficiency and reliability
customers need. This, coupled with the module's five year
product life cycle, makes the ATI Radeon E4690 the easy
answer for system designers looking to gain competitive
advantage in the marketplace. 2"
AMD has also introduced the ATI Radeon HD 5670, a new graphics
card that supports Microsoft DirectX 11 gaming and computing,
and ATI Eyefinity multi-display technology. The ATI Radeon
HD 5670 card enables HD gaming and multimedia features.
The key features of the ATI Radeon HD 5670 graphics card
are,
The ATI Radeon HD 5670 graphics card delivers up to 620
GigaFLOPS of compute power and GDDR5 memory
ATI Eyefinity technology enables up to three displays to
be used with a single ATI Radeon HD 5670 graphics card,
delivering better gaming experience with a graphics card
for under $100
ATI Stream technology speeds up video transcoding and video
playback performance with applications such as Adobe Flash,
and deliver video enhancements that produce better visual
quality with sharper, more vibrant images.
"AMD recently celebrated the shipment of its two millionth
DirectX 11 graphics chip. AMD has already enabled DirectX
11 support for the majority of the PC market and today's
introduction of the ATI Radeon HD 5670 graphics card is
yet another clear indication of AMD's commitment to address
the strong market demand for DirectX 11-capable graphics
cards," said Matt Skynner, vice president and general
manager, AMD Graphics Group. "Combined with the successful
launches of the ATI Radeon HD 5970, ATI Radeon HD 5800 series
and ATI Radeon HD 5700 series, AMD has defined the DirectX
11 gaming experience like no other, bringing graphics innovations
like ATI Eyefinity technology and ATI Stream technology
to millions of consumers worldwide."
