AMD releases ATI GPU for embedded graphics
AMD HAS RELEASED a new GPU for embedded graphics applications with more than triple the 3D graphics performance of its earlier embedded products.
The ATI Radeon E4690 GPU supports Microsoft DirectX 10.1 and OpenGL 3.0. The second-generation AMD Unified Video Decoder includes hardware acceleration of H.264 and VC-1 high-definition video as well as MPEG-2. It has 512MB of 700MHz GDDR3 graphics memory on chip.
According to a company press release it will been seen under the bonnets of arcade systems, digital signage and casino systems.
AMD insists that the chip is the industry's only embedded graphics chip that offers DirectX 10.1 and UVD 2.0 support. No word on price or distribution yet. µ

Yes. Yes you can.
Can i poon noobs with something like this?
Don't stop at the top, AMD. Why not make it a 512 or 1024 bit memory bus if it's on chip?
It's a 128 bit memory bus. Where did you learn how to cut and paste Nick? Magee? Was it he?

Be real, be sober.
other than Linux support being crap (and they just released 9.7 for linux), your whinings are groundless FUD
Drop support? I thought they were branching the older cards to get newer driver versions to not have a ton of legacy code and so they could fix a lot of what's broken in said legacy code without breaking newer drivers.
Perhaps AMD should spend some time on making the ATI drivers work instead of releasing new hardware every few weeks! Catalyst 9.6 wouldn't even recognise some of the supported hardware during the installation, and things are STILL not working with version 9.7. Don't get me started on support for Linux (it's CRAP). And did you notice all those graphics cards that are no longer supported with Catalyst 9.7. When fixing things get to difficult, AMD decides to simply drop support. Fine company.
Well, I enjoyed reading about this news that I'd missed and thank you Nick, for enlightening me; unlike you back-room 'freaks' that seem to read everything that's published (yeah, right?)
I say, STFU! ...and let me read, you know-it-all's
Thank you for your silence!
Love,

Thank you !
Get a life!
In AMD websites is true that AMD just released new Graphics Card for Professional and Workstation but what Nick Farrel tells us is really an old story.
This story announces the release of the GPU.
The other story introduces the GPU.
Two different 'stories' (press releases) about the same product.
Maybe, Nick Farrel has tired to become the last man standing that solely supplied news to the Inquirer.
I've read this somewhere... oh right here:
