AMD has introduced ATI Radeon E2400, a high-performance graphic processing unit, which delivers the latest 2D, 3D and multimedia graphics performance to the embedded market. It is a solution that reduces footprint, reduces design complexity, and helps speed time to market.
The company added that ATI Radeon E2400 is suitable for embedded graphics applications like test and instrumentation, human machine, display walls, patient monitoring, casino and arcade gaming, and various multi-display applications.
The ATI Radeon E2400 is built on 65nm process technology, and integrates AMD's Unified Shader Architecture with support for Microsoft DirectX 10, thereby allowing customers to develop advanced content for several applications.
The device package incorporates 128MB of on-chip GDDR3 memory for graphics-intensive applications, eliminating space, effort, and cost of external memory designs.
AMD offers ATI Radeon E2400 MXM-II module, a compact graphics subsystem, for designers who require a low profile solution in space-constrained environments. It uses ATI Radeon E2400 core and 256MB GDDR3 memory. This module is based on open standard MXM-II specifications. It provides a documented upgrade path and enabling a plug-in solution for fast time-to-market.
AMD will showcase the ATI Radeon E2400 at "Embedded World 2008" in Nuremberg, Germany in the last week of February; and at "Embedded Systems Conference Silicon Valley" in San Jose, California in April.
The new ATI Radeon E2400 is scheduled to ship this month in production quantities. The new graphics technology is backed by a planned five-year availability and long-term support, thus offering reliability for a variety of applications on operating systems that feature Microsoft DirectX10 and OpenGL 2.0.
