AMD Introduces E4690 MXM 3.0 Graphics

At DIGITIMES Tech Forum AMD introduced the ATI Radeon E4690 Mobile PCI Express module (MXM) which meets the requirements of the MXM 3.0 specification.

According to company's estimates, ATI Radeon E4690 MXM performs about three times faster than previous solutions. Also, novelty's power consumption has been optimized by means of ATI PowerPlay.

ATI Radeon E4690 MXM features 320 shader processors, 512MB of GDDR3 memory, and 128-bit bus. The peak core/memory clock rates are 600/700 MHz. The module offers two independent display controllers with a large number of interfaces, including DisplayPort (1.1a, 4x), Single-Link (1x) or Dual-Link (1õ) LVDS, Single-Link (4x) and Dual-Link (2x) DVI, TMDS, HDMI, as well as analog outputs. The module dimensions are 70x82mm.

According to AMD, the novelty is currently the only embedded 3D accelerator to support Microsoft DirectX 10.1 and Unified Video Decoder 2 (hardware decoding of H.264, VC-1 and MPEG-2 content). Besides, ATI Radeon E4690 MXM supports ATI Stream, meaning it can be used as a GPGPU for general-purpose computation.
