AMD announced the AMD Embedded Radeon E9260 and E9550 graphics processing units (GPUs), the industry's first discrete embedded graphics cards leveraging the new AMD Polaris architecture. The cards are ideal for applications requiring rich multimedia and 4K video in power-constrained embedded environments. Use cases include immersive casino gaming, digital signage, 4K teleconferencing and interactive digital whiteboards, enhanced medical imaging for clinical diagnoses, and transportation instrumentation.

The Polaris GPU architecture leverages an optimized 14nm FinFET process designed to deliver a dramatic performance-per-watt gain over previous generations of embedded GPU architecture. Providing up to 5.8 TFLOPS performance in a sub-95W TDP power profile, the new embedded GPUs offer advanced 4K encode/decode multimedia processing capabilities and support for up to six displays on the E9550.



"Embedded designers want to take their systems to the next level and immerse the end-user in compelling experiences, leveraging 4K displays and high resolution media," said Scott Aylor, corporate vice president and general manager, AMD Enterprise Solutions. "The new AMD Embedded Radeon E9260 and E9550 GPUs offer compelling energy efficiency and performance for demanding graphics and parallel processing requirements, and are available in a range of graphics card configurations for seamless integration across various form factors."

Stunning Visual Experiences with Exceptional Performance-per-Watt
The 14nm FinFET manufacturing process and uncompromising video and graphics processing capabilities that underpin the Polaris architecture distinguish the AMD Embedded Radeon E9260 and E9550 GPUs from others in the industry, with a highly desired balance of power, performance and thermal profile. The GPUs provide immersive and accurate 4K graphic capabilities with H.265 and H.264 encode/decode1 on up to six displays on the E9550, enabling panoramic "surround sight" and overhead visuals. This allows for more accuracy in images and more immersive detail to produce a superior visual experience.

"AMD is bringing their latest graphics technology to the embedded market with the new AMD Embedded Radeon E9260 and E9550 GPUs," said Jon Peddie, president, Jon Peddie Research. "This will be highly beneficial for many embedded applications ranging from digital signage to medical imaging and casino gaming, where great graphics and low energy consumption are of paramount importance."

The GPUs provide full 4K, 3D and 360-degree image support to ensure unparalleled visual immersion and advanced graphics-driven capabilities. Vulkan API support offers cross-platform 3D graphics and compute, enabling enhanced-performance and smoother CPU co-processing. DirectX 12 support provides fast performance, higher frames per second, and reduced latency. The Polaris-based GPUs are designed to meet the performance requirements for demanding embedded applications that benefit from superior graphics processing, energy efficiency and thermal manageability at a competitive price point.

Key Features E9260:
  • Up to 2.5 TFLOPS at < 50W TDP board power
  • Full 4K and 3D support ensures unparalleled visual immersion
  • 4K optimization and flexible multi-display configurability enable rich multimedia and flexible design versatility.
    o Features include next-generation UVD and VCE support; HEVC/H.265 decode and encode, and up to five display outputs using HDMI 2.0 and/or DisplayPort 1.3
  • Appointed with 4GB memory (128bit GDDR5) for high-performance needs
  • Available in versatile, compact MXM and PCI Express form factors
  • Five years planned longevity ensures support continuity for next-generation designs
Key Features E9550:
  • Up to 5.8 TFLOPS at < 95W TDP board power
  • Full 4K and 3D support ensures unparalleled visual immersion
  • 4K optimization and flexible multi-display configurability enable rich multimedia and flexible design versatility.
    o Features include next-generation UVD and VCE support; HEVC/H.265 decode and encode, and up to six display outputs using HDMI 2.0 and/or DisplayPort 1.3
  • Appointed with 8GB memory (256bit, GDDR5) for high-performance needs
  • Available in versatile, compact MXM type B form factor
  • Three years planned longevity ensures support continuity for next-generation designs

Since when do 50W qualify as "embedded"? I see nothing embedded about these cards.

That's because you're misinterpreting the term "embedded".

By the way, it's nice to see the fully enabled 5.8 TF Polaris 10 at 95W.

Wikipedia seems to agree with my understanding:
Examples of properties of typically embedded computers when compared with general-purpose counterparts are low power consumption, small size, rugged operating ranges, and low per-unit cost.

As ShurikN said, it's gonna be used for Metal Gear pachinko machines. Not really, just that most arcades machines will be happy to have some RX 480s.

Still doesn't qualify as embedded. Not more than the GPU in an Xbox or PlayStation at least. Capable cards? Probably yes. Embedded? A bridge to far if you ask me.

Um, no it very well does qualify as embedded. Read the page, consumer electronics including video game consoles are considered embedded. Any system with a dedicated purposes and the chips integrated as part of the system is embedded. You are trying to argue a worthless point, I think AMD engineers at least know what embedded means, that's computer architecture 101.
