ATI Radeon™ E4690

ATI Radeon™ E4690
Embedded Graphics Processor
Serious Graphics for Gaming and HD Video
Unprecedented Embedded Graphics Performance
The ATI Radeon™ E4690 delivers leading performance for embedded applications from casino and arcade gaming
to digital signage. With 3x the performance of AMD's previous generation embedded GPUs*, the E4690 can help
deliver the performance needed for today’s embedded applications. This performance is delivered through state
of the art features, including a wider 128-bit memory interface and 512MB of on-chip memory. The E4690 provides
broad hardware support for video codecs and allows for multiple HD video streams to be decoded simultaneously
delivering features like picture in picture. For ultimate performance, multiple GPUs can be combined through ATI
CrossFireX™ technology.
Low and Scalable Power Consumption
Based on 55nm technology, the E4690 delivers more than double the performance per watt* than previous
generation processors. Built with ATI’s PowerPlay™ technology the E4690 has dynamic power management
delivering high performance when needed, while intuitively conserving energy at idle or when demand is low. The
E4690 graphics processor also allows for exceptional scalability of performance between 8W and 25W.
>> Desktop-level Performance>
- 320 shader processors
- 128-bit memory interface
- 512 MB GDDR3
Broadest Range of Display Outputs
Today’s embedded applications require support for a large range of output interfaces. The E4690 delivers a
comprehensive selection of output options including the first ever embedded support for DisplayPort that delivers up
to 2x the bandwidth of DVI. Whether it is HDMI, dual-link DVI, analog output, or custom timings for LVDS panels, the
E4690 has the flexibility to meet most embedded applications.
>> Exceptional Video Decode>
- H.264, VC-1, MPEG-2
- Picture-in-Picture
Assurance of Availability
AMD understands the unique requirements of the embedded market. Unlike desktop PC solutions, embedded
designers need to know that the high performance graphics processors they select today will be available in years
to come. That is why as with other AMD embedded graphics solutions, the E4690 has a five year supply availability.
>> Extended Availability>
- 5 year supply availability**
- Dedicated technical support
Fast Time to Market
AMD embedded graphics products focus on speeding your solution to market by simplifying the design and providing
specialized technical support. By incorporating the high-speed graphics memory on-chip, the E4690 helps simplify
board design. During all phases of design, development, and deployment, AMD works with designers to deliver
support from technical experts that can help to solve issues and allow their customers to spend more time focusing
on the features that make their solutions unique.
