AMD has announced the ATI Radeon E4690 GPU designed for embedded graphics applications with more than triple the 3D graphics performance of prior AMD embedded products, the company noted.

The ATI Radeon E4690 GPU supports Microsoft DirectX 10.1 and OpenGL 3.0.

The second-generation AMD Unified Video Decoder (UVD 2.0) includes hardware acceleration of H.264 and VC-1 high-definition (HD) video as well as MPEG-2.

The ATI Radeon E4690 is designed to simplify board design and speed time-to-market by incorporating 512MB of 700MHz GDDR3 graphics memory on chip.

The GPU is suitable for applications such as arcade systems, digital signage and casino systems, added the company
