Technical Analysis
Detailed breakdown of Radeon R2E specifications and capabilities.
Graphics Performance
The Radeon R2E scores 211 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 1.0 (2012−2020) architecture (codename: Cape Verde), manufactured on a 28 nm process— smaller process nodes improve power efficiency and transistor density. It packs 512 shader units (the primary compute units for rendering pixels), 32 TMUs (texture mapping units), and 16 ROPs (render output units that handle final pixel output). Raw FP32 compute power: 0.8192 TFLOPS — this measures the theoretical peak floating-point performance.
