—     Gra­phics Core Next based GPU deli­vers dou­ble the per­for­mance of its pre­de­ces­sor with indus­try-best seven year lon­ge­vi­ty to dri­ve a new era of visu­al and GPGPU embedded systems —

NUREMBERG, Ger­ma­ny. — Embedded World 2014 – Feb. 25, 2014 — AMD (NYSE: AMD) today announ­ced the AMD Embedded Radeon™E8860 GPU (code­na­med “Adel­a­ar”), the industry’s first dis­crete gra­phics card based on Gra­phics Core Next (GCN) archi­tec­tu­re desi­gned spe­ci­fi­cal­ly to advan­ce the visu­al growth and par­al­lel pro­ces­sing capa­bi­li­ties of embedded appli­ca­ti­ons. With more than dou­ble the per­for­mance in the same power enve­lo­pe as its pre­de­ces­sor1, the AMD E8860 GPU deli­vers 3D and 4K gra­phics to embedded gam­ing machi­nes, digi­tal signage, medi­cal ima­ging, com­mer­cial aero­space and con­ven­tio­nal mili­ta­ry, and other embedded appli­ca­ti­ons. A 33 per­cent hig­her sin­gle pre­cis­i­on floa­ting point2 over the pre­vious gene­ra­ti­on at 768 GFLOPS enables the AMD E8860 GPU to also blast through the most com­plex par­al­lel appli­ca­ti­ons like ter­rain and wea­ther map­ping, facial and ges­tu­re reco­gni­ti­on and bio­me­tric and DNA analysis.

“The demand for rich, vibrant gra­phics and enhan­ced par­al­lel com­pu­te capa­bi­li­ties in embedded sys­tems is grea­ter than ever befo­re, and is expec­ted to con­ti­nue to grow as we enter the Sur­round Com­pu­ting era,” said Scott Aylor, cor­po­ra­te vice pre­si­dent and gene­ral mana­ger, AMD Embedded Solu­ti­ons. “Lega­cy gra­phics no lon­ger meet the needs of embedded solu­ti­ons for today and tomor­row. With unpre­ce­den­ted per­for­mance-per-watt, the AMD E8860 GPU addres­ses the need to dri­ve mul­ti-dis­plays, 3D and 4K con­tent and GPGPU com­pu­te across small form fac­tors, harsh envi­ron­ments and mis­si­on cri­ti­cal applications.”

The AMD E8860 GPU, desi­gned in mul­ti-chip modu­le pack­a­ging, comes with an indus­try lea­ding seven year lon­ge­vi­ty sup­p­ly gua­ran­tee3 and is available as a mobi­le PCI Express modu­le (MXM) and PCI Express add-in-board. The AMD E8860 GPU dri­ves mul­ti­ple inde­pen­dent dis­plays with sup­port for AMD

Eye­fi­ni­ty Tech­no­lo­gy4, and sup­ports DirectX 11.1, OpenGL 4.2, and Open­CL™ 1.2 with sup­port for Micro­soft Win­dows 7, Win­dows Embedded 7 Stan­dard, Win­dows 8/8.1, Win­dows Embedded 8 Stan­dard, Linux and real-time and safe­ty-cri­ti­cal ope­ra­ting sys­tems sup­port­ed by CoreAVI’s suite of embedded soft­ware dri­vers. Addi­tio­nal fea­tures include:

      • The AMD E8860 GPU fea­tures 2GB of GDDR5 frame buf­fer and deli­vers up to 80% hig­her memo­ry band­width than the best-per­forming of NVIDIA’s sub-50W cate­go­ry GeForce GPUs5
  • Advan­ced GPGPU capa­bi­li­ties for par­al­lel pro­ces­sing with up to 61 per­cent hig­her per­for­man­ce­per-watt than com­pe­ting sub-50W cate­go­ry of dis­crete GPUs6

  • Impro­ved per­for­mance with 92 per­cent hig­her 3D gra­phics per­for­mance-per-watt then the pre­vious gene­ra­ti­on7
    • 3DMark® 11 score of 2689
    • Advan­ced plat­form power manage­ment at 37W TDP

“Embedded GPUs like the AMD E8860 will per­se­ve­re to accom­mo­da­te incre­asing­ly strin­gent OEM pre­fe­ren­ces as demands for HD, 3D and even 4K dis­play capa­bi­li­ty con­ti­nue to grow across a see­mingly end­less array of screen types and sizes,” said Chris Rom­mel, Exe­cu­ti­ve Vice Pre­si­dent of M2M

Embedded Tech­no­lo­gy, VDC Rese­arch. “The pro­li­fe­ra­ti­on of GPGPU com­pu­ting will expand the appli­ca­bi­li­ty of GPUs bey­ond visu­al appli­ca­ti­ons into medi­cal, con­ven­tio­nal mili­ta­ry and com­mer­cial aero­space appli­ca­ti­ons whe­re mas­si­ve par­al­lel com­pu­te is a necessity.”

AMD E8860 GPU-based solu­ti­ons for digi­tal signage, con­ven­tio­nal mili­ta­ry and com­mer­cial aero­space, medi­cal ima­ging and embedded gam­ing machi­nes will be available from Curtiss-Wright
