Technical Analysis

Detailed breakdown of RADEON E4690 specifications and capabilities.

Graphics Performance

The RADEON E4690 scores 405 in the G3D Mark benchmark (the standard measure of rasterization GPU performance), placing it in the Entry Level tier as a Legacy generation graphics card. It is built on the GCN 3.0 (2014−2019) architecture (codename: Amethyst), manufactured on a 28 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 2048 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 128 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 32 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 4.096 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance. Boost clock reaches 1000 MHz from a base of 735 MHz.
