AMD Releases Embedded GPU That Supports OpenCL

AMD, at the Embedded Systems Conference Silicon Valley 2011, announced their release of their latest embedded GPU: the Radeon E6760. It’s the first embedded GPU to support OpenCL as well as up to 6 independent displays. Richard Jaenicke, director of Embedded Client Business for AMD, said, “The AMD Radeon E6760 GPU provides customers with superior business economics through long lifecycle management and product stability. Embedded system designers faced with power and density constraints now have a solution that delivers the advanced 3D graphics and multimedia features they require in this performance-driven market.” Highlights, taken from the press release, follow:

• An advanced 3D graphics engine and programmable shader architecture supports Microsoft DirectX® 11 technology for superior graphics rendering.
• With an integrated frame buffer, high reliability and small footprint thermal solution, the AMD Radeon E6760 GPU enables designers of casino gaming, arcade and medical imaging systems to quickly deliver products with a compelling competitive edge.
• Support for OpenCL provides an industry standard interface to access the exceptional compute performance per Watt for general purpose graphics processing unit (GPGPU) applications such as ultrasound, radar and video surveillance.
• Featuring multi-display support with AMD Eyefinity technology, the AMD Radeon E6760 GPU supports up to six independent output displays³, HDMI 1.4 stereoscopic video and DisplayPort 1.2 for higher link speeds and simplified display connectivity.
• The AMD Radeon E6760 GPU comes with five years of planned supply availability. Technical support is provided by a dedicated team of application engineering experts.
