Product Brief: AMD Radeon™ E6460 Embedded GPU
One System Design, Two Solutions
Speed time to market, reduce inventory costs, and
enable multiple product categories. The AMD Radeon™
E6460 GPU ball grid array (BGA) is a subset of the
AMD Radeon™ E6760 GPU BGA enabling embedded
system designers to develop one system for both the
AMD Radeon™ E6460 GPU and the high-performance
AMD Radeon™ E6760 GPU.
Designed to Perform, Engineered to Lead,
Built to Win
AMD understands the unique requirements of the
embedded market. Building on a proven track record
of customer-centric innovation, AMD offers the
AMD Radeon™ E6460 embedded GPU with a planned
five year product life cycle5. With the graphics memory
integrated onto the same BGA package, the
AMD Radeon™ E6460 GPU saves development time
plus AMD manages memory device obsolescence.
The performance, flexibility, and easy design of the
AMD Radeon™ E6460 GPU provides system designers
with an exciting and innovative solution for their
embedded graphics applications.

AMD Eyefinity technology can support multiple displays limited by display output clock dependencies. Microsoft® Windows® 7, Windows Vista®, or Linux® is required in order to support more than two
displays. SLS (“Single Large Surface”) functionality requires an identical display resolution on all configured displays.
2
AMD App Acceleration is a set of technologies designed to improve video quality and enhance application performance. Full enablement of some features requires support for OpenCL™ or DirectCompute
(including AMD’s Universal Video Decoder (UVD)). Not all products have all features and full enablement of some capabilities and may require complementary products.
3
AMD HD3D is a technology designed to enable stereoscopic support for 3D graphics and video. Additional hardware (e.g., 3D-enabled panels, 3D-enabled glasses/emitter, Blu-ray 3D drive) and/or software (e.g.,
Blu-ray 3D discs, 3D middleware, games) are required for the enablement of stereoscopic 3D.

Not all display interfaces available at same time. Maximum resolution dependent on link bit-rate and available memory bandwidth. AMD Embedded Catalyst™ software driver version 8.81 or higher required to
support AMD Eyefinity multi-display technology. AMD Eyefinity multi-display technology has certain restrictions on supported display interfaces.
10 Two internal PLLs + an integrated DisplayPort reference clock can support (1) two legacy display outputs + two DisplayPort outputs, (2) one legacy display output + three DisplayPort outputs or (3) four
DisplayPort outputs. Legacy display output includes VGA, single / dual-link DVI, single / dual-link LVDS and HDMI 1.4a.
11 Not all features supported by Windows® XP (e.g., AMD Eyefinity technology not supported).
