AMD Announces New R-Series Embedded SoCs
After teasing them for a few days, AMD today officially announced their new high-end embedded R-Series SoC processors. These new R-Series SoCs feature Excavator CPU cores and third-generation GCN GPUs.
These embedded processors are said to be powerful enough for 4K video playback, full HSA 1.0 certified, and support DDR4 ECC system memory (or DDR3). The Radeon GCN GPU has up to eight compute units and GPU clock speeds up to 800MHz.
As Linux is popular with AMD's embedded customers, their press release does mention support for "AMD’s all-open Linux driver including Mentor Embedded Linux from Mentor Graphics and their Sourcery CodeBench IDE development tools."
