"AMD has today announced the second generation of its embedded R-Series. The chipsets are designed to support high parallel computing and visual loads. The R-Series embedded processors are codenamed ‘Bald Eagle’ and include high end APUs which combine central and graphic processing. Bald Eagle also uses the company’s latest Steamroller CPU cores and is capable of supporting high-end embedded solutions in Windows, Linux and Real-Time operating systems. They are targeted at a variety of devices and applications across the industry. These include gaming machines, ultra sound and low dose X-Ray machines, communications and networking infrastructures requiring high performing graphics processing technology."
“Bald Eagle is highest performance embedded device we’ll have in 2014. These are the first embedded devices that natively support Ultra HD 4K displays, so we see this as a good play for digital signage, while in medical imaging, pixel density and resolution are also very important,” said Scott Aylor, corporate vice president and general manager of AMD’s Embedded Solutions group. Combined with AMD’s embedded Radeon E8860 discrete GPU, the R-Series can support up to nine 4K displays. The new R-Series embedded chipsets will also be the first to feature AMDs Heterogeneous System Architecture or the HSA. HSA allows the CPU and GPU on a traditional computer to work seamlessly together, therefore reducing overall dispatch latency created by a separate scheduler on the device driver stack manager. In other words, it gives the CPU and the GPU equal portions of the system memory. Bald Eagle products “incorporate HSA features, enabling applications to distribute workloads to run on the best compute element—e.g., CPU, GPU, or a specialized accelerator such as video decode—for up to 44 percent more 3D graphics performance and up to 46 percent more compute performance than comparable Intel Haswell Core-i CPUs,” said the company"
