Advanced Multimedia and Display Features

The AMD Embedded R-Series SOC enables stunning video

performance, providing true 4K encode and decode and integrated

support for DirectX® 12, Unified Video Decode (UVD) 6 (4K H.2654

and H.264 decode) and Video Coding Engine (VCE) 3.1 (4K H.264

encode). Up to three displays are supported with options to use the

Embedded DisplayPort (eDP) 1.4, DisplayPort (DP) 1.2, Digital Video

Interface (DVI) or HDMI™ 1.4/2.0 interfaces.

Power, Temperature and Design Versatility

The AMD Embedded R-Series SOC features a configurable thermal

design power (cTDP) capability that enables a programmable TDP range

from 12W to 35W, giving system designers the flexibility to tune power

consumption and thermal profiles to meet their unique requirements.

Standard 0°C to 90°C and, for the first time on an R-Series device,

industrial -40°C to 105°C temperature (iTemp) processors are offered.

Ideally suited for small form factor systems, the AMD Embedded

R-Series SOC occupies a 35% smaller footprint than second-generation

AMD Embedded R-Series APUs.5

Additional Key Benefits

1.

The AMD RX-421BD processor (configured for 15W TDP) scored 2190 and the Intel Core i7-5650U (15W) scored 1384. The score for the RX-421BD (2.1 GHz base, 3.4 GHz boost) was measured using an AMD Gardenia motherboard with

8GB of DDR3-2133 memory, a 250GB Samsung EVO 850 solid state drive (SSD), and graphics driver 15.101.0.0. The score for the Core i7-5650U (2.2 GHz) was measured using a Congatec TC97 module with 8GB of DDR3-1600 memory,

a 250GB Samsung EVO 850 solid state drive (SSD, and graphics driver 10.18.14.4139. Both systems running Windows 8.1 Professional. EMB-134

2.

Comparison is based on the 3DMark11 (Performance) benchmark score of both products. The AMD RX-421BD (35W) processor scored 2720; the RX-427BB (35W) scored 2235. The score for the RX-421BD (2.1 GHz base, 3.4 GHz boost)

was measured using an AMD Gardenia motherboard with 8GB of DDR3-2133 memory, a 250GB Samsung EVO 850 solid state drive (SSD), and graphics driver 15.101.0.0. The score for the RX-427BB (2.7 GHz base, 3.6 GHz boost) was

measured using an AMD Ballina motherboard with 8GB of DDR3-2133 SO-DIMM memory, a Hitachi 256GB HDD, and graphics driver 13.350.0.0. Both systems ran Windows® 8.1 Professional. EMB-133

3.

Comparison is based on performance measured using the EEMBC CoreMark v1.0 MT benchmark. The AMD RX-421BD (35W) processor scored 65693; the RX-427BB (35W) scored 52662. The score for the RX-421BD (2.1 GHz base, 3.4

GHz boost) was measured using an AMD Gardenia motherboard with 8GB of DDR3-2133 memory, a 250GB Samsung EVO 850 solid state drive (SSD) and graphics driver 15.101.0.0. The score for the RX-427BB (2.7 GHz base, 3.6 GHz

boost) was measured using an AMD Ballina motherboard with 8GB of DDR3-2133 SO-DIMM memory, a Hitachi 256GB HDD and graphics driver 13.350.0.0. Both systems ran Windows® 8.1 Professional. EMB-137
