The Radeon E8950 was a mobile graphics chip by AMD, launched on September 29th, 2015. Built on the 28 nm process, and based on the Amethyst graphics processor, in its E8950 variant, the chip supports DirectX 12. This ensures that all modern games will run on Radeon E8950. The Amethyst graphics processor is a large chip with a die area of 366 mm² and 5,000 million transistors. It features 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs. AMD has paired 8 GB GDDR5 memory with the Radeon E8950, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 735 MHz, which can be boosted up to 1000 MHz, memory is running at 1500 MHz (6 Gbps effective).
Being a mxm module card, the AMD Radeon E8950 does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is rated at 95 W maximum. This device has no display connectivity, as it is not designed to have monitors connected to it. Rather it is intended for use in laptop/notebooks and will use the output of the host mobile device.
