AMD today announced the AMD Embedded Radeon E9170 Series graphics processing unit (GPU). The new processor is the first "Polaris" architecture-based AMD Embedded discrete GPU available in multi-chip module (MCM) format with integrated memory for smaller, power-efficient custom designs, as well as PCI Express and MXM formats for standard form factor systems. The E9170 Series GPU is ideal for devices that require premium graphics and expanded display capabilities while meeting exacting power and thermal efficiency demands. AMD is extending its core graphics technology, delivering crystal clear resolution and a stunning and seamless 4K experience across multiple displays to a growing number of markets, including digital casino games, thin clients, medical displays, retail and digital signage, and industrial systems.

The AMD Embedded Radeon E9173 GPU, based on the "Polaris" architecture, leverages an optimized 14nm FinFET manufacturing process to provide up to 3X the performance-per-watt over previous generations of AMD Embedded GPUsi. By offering sub-40W TDP in a small package, AMD enables a broader range of products, adding a new level of scalability to the AMD Radeon Power-Efficient Embedded GPU portfolio. With support for up to five simultaneous 4K displaysii, the E9170 Series GPU virtually eliminates the need for additional processors and duplicate hardware to create an immersive multimedia environment. Additionally, the option to select from MCM, MXM and PCI Express modules increases design flexibility while minimizing complexity.

So, non-sarcastically (for once), could this be used as a mining beast?

I don't see much other utility, as CUDA is the industry go to for GPGPU right now. But crypto is so high right now that I'd consider getting into mining at a reasonable barrier to entry.

Available in 2024?

dell already has thees in laptops, so i dont think it would be long for them to end up in random customer facing enterprise crap.

i dont think they would be good for mining. this is just taking the existing laptop parts and getting them ready for atms, gas pumps, gambling machines, and other random things with screens. thees also would be using the gpu out of the 460/560 so you dont want that for crunching.

I was thinking purely from a power efficiency perspective. It may be cheaper to buy an equivalent amount of processing power of these than in RX 580 because they don't have as much hardware.

So in theory, you could use 10 of these at a relatively low power and part cost.

cards for embedded things generally cost more, likely dont have the expensive/hot samsung memory you need for etherium, and you could buy the 460/560 for the whole time of this shortage at around msrp.
