<i>High-performance embedded CPUs and
GPUs ideal for compute intensive applications and high-end digital gaming and
signage </i>
<b>SUNNYVALE,
Calif. – August 20, 2013 – </b>AMD (NYSE: AMD) today
announced new CPU offerings for the <a href="http://www.amd.com/R-Series">AMD Embedded
R-Series </a>high-performance computing platform, along with the
introduction of a discrete GPU promotional program to provide embedded
designers more choices for meeting demanding performance requirements. The new options
include quad-core and dual-core CPUs scaling from 2.2 GHz to 3.2 GHz with Thermal
Design Power (TDP) ranging from 17 to 35 watts for applications that require
high performance x86 compute such as network attached storage (NAS). To address
high-end visual needs for applications like digital gaming and signage that
require high-performance x86 compute coupled with industry-leading discrete
graphics, AMD is introducing a new discrete GPU promotional program that
provides customers with both a CPU and discrete GPU for savings of up to 20
percent1.
The new AMD R-Series CPUs offer up to
2.5X greater performance-per-dollar compared to Intel i3 processors2.
The discrete graphics promotional program combines new AMD R-Series CPUs with
discrete AMD RadeonT E6460 or E6760 graphics for driving up to six independent
displays3. These new options are designed to provide
cost-effective solutions for maximum compute and graphics capabilities.
”There is a need for a greater variety of processor and
graphics options in several market segments ranging from storage to digital
signage and gaming to meet ever growing performance requirements,” said Kamal
Khouri, director of Embedded Products, AMD. ”The AMD
Embedded R-Series CPU platform targets performance-intensive embedded
applications with a new discrete graphics program to
meet the diverse, high-performance requirements of the embedded engineering
community. These new choices offer higher compute and graphics throughput plus
compelling TCO for the embedded market.”
The new AMD Embedded R-Series CPU options
are currently available, with products from Advantech, Advantech-Innocore,
Aewin, DFI, MSC Embedded, Quixant and other leading original design
manufacturers (ODMs). The new orderable part numbers (OPNs) are:

System Configuration: AMD R-260H scored 13297 and Intel Core i3-3217U scored
19263, based on EEMBC CoreMark Multi-thread benchmark results. Benchmark
result of AMD R-264X was extrapolated based on the score of R-260H taking into
account the 100 MHz frequency increase (which equates to a ~4.8% CPU
performance improvement or approximately EEMBC score of 13939). DBB price of
AMD R-264X and Intel Core i3-3217U is $64 and $225 as of August 1, 2013. AMD
R-260H system used AMD DB-FP2 Development Board, 2x2GB DDR3 memory, 500GB SATA
Hard Drive, and ran Ubuntu version 12.04. Intel Core i3-3217U system
configuration used Intel NUC motherboard, 2x4GB DDR3 memory, 500GB SATA Hard
Drive, and ran Ubuntu version 11.10.

Eyefinity technology supports up to six DisplayPort monitors on an enabled
graphics card. Supported display quantity, type and resolution vary by model
and board design; confirm specifications with manufacturer before purchase. To
enable more than two displays, or multiple displays from a single output,
additional hardware such as DisplayPortT-ready monitors or DisplayPort 1.2
MST-enabled hubs may be required. Maximum two active adapters supported. See
www.amd.com/eyefinityfaq for full details.
