The 2nd Generation AMD Embedded R-Series accelerated processing unit (APU) delivers breakthrough graphics performance and power efficiency for a new generation of embedded systems designed to provide ultra-immersive HD multimedia experiences and parallel processing compute performance. Harnessing the processing power of AMD’s “Steamroller” CPU core and a new graphics core based on the AMD Radeon HD 9000 platform, the AMD R-Series APU offers next-generation performance-perwatt compute efficiency in the x86 product category by allowing system designers to take advantage of Heterogeneous System Architecture (HSA).
