AMD brings advanced graphics to embedded systems

AMD introduced the ATI Radeon E2400, a high-performance graphics processing unit that delivers the latest 2D, 3D and multimedia graphics performance to the embedded market.

Embedded graphics applications include test and instrumentation, human machine interfaces (such as Kiosks, Point-of-Sale, and Automated Teller Machines), display walls, patient monitoring, casino and arcade gaming, and various multi-display applications. The graphics technology is backed by a planned five-year availability and long-term support offering reliability for a variety of applications on operating systems featuring Microsoft DirectX 10 and OpenGL 2.0.

ATI Radeon E2400 is offered in a compact package size. Built on 65nm process technology, the ATI Radeon E2400 includes AMD's Unified Shader Architecture with support for Microsoft DirectX 10. The device package incorporates 128MB of on-chip GDDR3 memory for graphic-intensive applications.

For designs that require a low profile solution, AMD offers the ATI Radeon E2400 MXM-II module based on the open standard MXM-II specifications. ATI Radeon E2400 MXM-II uses the ATI Radeon E2400 core and 256MB GDDR3 memory.

The ATI Radeon E2400 is scheduled to ship this month in production quantities.
