Product Brief 2nd Generation AMD Embedded R-Series APU The 2nd Generation AMD Embedded R-Series APU (previously codenamed: “Bald Eagle”) boosts processing performance, power efficiency, and multimedia immersion by leveraging Heterogeneous System Architecture. Supporting TDPs ranging from 17W to 35W, 2nd Generation AMD Embedded R-Series APUs equip system designers to achieve aggressive performance and energy efficiency profiles while helping to minimize heat dissipation constraints. AMD’s Temperature Smart Turbo CORE technology complemented by the configurable TDP feature enables advanced power management capabilities that allow designers to optimize TDP for their target application by adjusting the clock speed of the underlying CPU and GPU, increasing overall performance-per-watt by up to 12%.5 PRODUCT OVERVIEW Display Output 1 2nd Generation AMD R-Series APUs deliver up to 66% more compute performance1 and up to 55% more 3D graphics performance than previous generation AMD Embedded R-Series APUs.2 Compared to Intel Haswell Core-i CPUs with 35W or lower thermal design power (TDP), the new AMD R-Series APUs provide up to 46% more compute performance3 , and up to 44% more 3D graphics performance.4 Uniﬁed Video Decoder The high-performance CPU and GPU cores within the 2nd Generation AMD Embedded R-Series APU can be allocated to the best suited compute tasks by utilizing HSA. As noted below, this enables outstanding system performance and multimedia interactivity, superior battery life, and small, sleek system form factors for a wide range of graphics and compute-intensive embedded applications including embedded gaming, digital signage, medical imaging, and more. SKY HIGH PERFORMANCE AT LOW POWER The 2nd Generation AMD Embedded R-Series accelerated processing unit (APU) delivers breakthrough graphics performance and power efficiency for a new generation of embedded systems designed to provide ultra-immersive HD multimedia experiences and parallel processing compute performance. Harnessing the processing power of AMD’s “Steamroller” CPU core and a new graphics core based on the AMD Radeon™ HD 9000 platform, the AMD R-Series APU offers next-generation performance-perwatt compute efficiency in the x86 product category by allowing system designers to take advantage of Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA).
