AMDAMD Radeon E9171 MCM Specifications
GPU Core
Shader units and compute resources
The AMD Radeon E9171 MCM GPU core specifications define its raw processing power for graphics and compute workloads. Shading units (also called CUDA cores, stream processors, or execution units depending on manufacturer) handle the parallel calculations required for rendering. TMUs (Texture Mapping Units) process texture data, while ROPs (Render Output Units) handle final pixel output. Higher shader counts generally translate to better GPU benchmark performance, especially in demanding games and 3D applications.
E9171 MCM Clock Speeds
GPU and memory frequencies
Clock speeds directly impact the Radeon E9171 MCM's performance in GPU benchmarks and real-world gaming. The base clock represents the minimum guaranteed frequency, while the boost clock indicates peak performance under optimal thermal conditions. Memory clock speed affects texture loading and frame buffer operations. The Radeon E9171 MCM by AMD dynamically adjusts frequencies based on workload, temperature, and power limits to maximize performance while maintaining stability.
AMD's Radeon E9171 MCM Memory
VRAM capacity and bandwidth
VRAM (Video RAM) is dedicated memory for storing textures, frame buffers, and shader data. The Radeon E9171 MCM's memory capacity determines how well it handles high-resolution textures and multiple displays. Memory bandwidth, measured in GB/s, affects how quickly data moves between the GPU and VRAM. Higher bandwidth improves performance in memory-intensive scenarios like 4K gaming. The memory bus width and type (GDDR6, GDDR6X, HBM) significantly influence overall GPU benchmark scores.
Radeon E9171 MCM by AMD Cache
On-chip cache hierarchy
On-chip cache provides ultra-fast data access for the E9171 MCM, reducing the need to fetch data from slower VRAM. L1 and L2 caches store frequently accessed data close to the compute units. AMD's Infinity Cache (L3) dramatically increases effective bandwidth, improving GPU benchmark performance without requiring wider memory buses. Larger cache sizes help maintain high frame rates in memory-bound scenarios and reduce power consumption by minimizing VRAM accesses.

About AMD Radeon E9171 MCM
The AMD Radeon E9171 MCM is an embedded-generation GPU using the Lexa chip and GCN 4.0 architecture, fabricated by GlobalFoundries on a 14 nm process with a 103 mm² die and 2,200 million transistors. The FACT PACK lists no benchmark scores, an average benchmark score of 0, and no nearest rivals; its only comparative placement is percentileVsAllGpus: 50. That makes the E9171 MCM a database median GPU, but with no measured scores or rival entries attached to the record.
Benchmark Performance
The FACT PACK contains no entries in its benchmarks list, and the nearestRivals field is empty. Exact percentage deltas against rival products cannot be computed because there are no rival names, scores, or deltaPct values in the record. The only comparative metric is percentileVsAllGpus: 50, which places the E9171 MCM at the 50th percentile of all GPUs tracked in the database. This is a midpoint placement: it ranks above the lower portion of the GPU population and below the upper portion, but the data does not specify which individual GPUs sit on either side.
The raw compute rates are nevertheless itemized. The pipeline contains 512 shading units, 32 texture mapping units, and 16 raster output units. Base clock is 1124 MHz and boost clock is 1219 MHz, yielding a peak pixel rate of 19.50 GPixel/s and a peak texture rate of 39.01 GTexel/s. FP32 throughput is 1,248.3 GFLOPS, and FP16 throughput is identical at 1,248.3 GFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio, so there is no separate FP16 throughput advantage. The silicon data reinforces the same picture: 2,200 million transistors on 103 mm² gives a transistor density of 21.4M / mm², a compact 14 nm design intended for the Embedded (9000) generation. Because the benchmark fields are empty, these specification rates are the only performance-related evidence in the record.
Memory Subsystem
The memory subsystem is defined by 4 GB of GDDR5 on a 128-bit bus. Memory clock is 1500 MHz with an effective data rate of 6 Gbps, and total bandwidth is 96.00 GB/s. For high-resolution work, the 128-bit interface and 96.00 GB/s bandwidth are the relevant constraints. A 128-bit bus limits how much data can be moved per memory clock, while 4 GB of VRAM limits the total size of frame buffers and texture working sets. As resolution and render-target size grow, both limits become more prominent: capacity sets a ceiling on what can be stored, and bandwidth sets a ceiling on how quickly that stored data can be fed into the 512 shading units. No memory benchmark is included in the FACT PACK, so the practical impact is inferred from these interface figures.
Who Should Consider It
The E9171 MCM is framed by the data as an embedded product. Its generation is Embedded (9000), its slot width is IGP, and its display outputs are Portable Device Dependent. That means the physical integration and display connectivity belong to the host device rather than to a standalone card. The 40 W TDP and the absence of power connectors support the same conclusion: this is a low-power, integrated-style part for compact systems.
Because no benchmark scores are recorded, a resolution-by-settings recommendation cannot be grounded in measured data. There is no score from which to infer 1080p, 1440p, or 4K settings tiers. What the facts do support is a user profile: systems with a tight power envelope, an embedded or portable form factor, and a modest memory interface. It is a fit for designs where power draw must stay at 40 W and where the host device supplies display outputs. It is not positioned as a high-end desktop GPU by any metric in the record.
How It Compares
The nearestRivals list in the FACT PACK is empty. No rival names, scores, or deltaPct values are available, so a rival-by-rival comparison cannot be constructed. The only comparative data point is percentileVsAllGpus: 50, which places the E9171 MCM at the midpoint of the tracked GPU population. This is a broad ranking, not a measurement against a specific competing product. Without named rivals, the record does not support a statement such as "ahead of product X" or "behind product Y." The 50th percentile position is the only relative information the FACT PACK provides.

Power and Cooling
The TDP is 40 W. The power connector field is None, so no auxiliary GPU power connector is listed. The suggested PSU field is not specified in the FACT PACK, so no power supply wattage can be cited. The slot width is IGP, indicating an integrated-style physical footprint rather than a multi-slot expansion card. Cooling details are not enumerated in the record, but the 40 W TDP and IGP slot width are the only power and thermal data points from which to draw. A 40 W part with no listed connectors is defined by its host board's power delivery rather than by an external power input.
Ray Tracing and Feature Set
The RT core and tensor core fields in the FACT PACK are null. Therefore, the record does not claim hardware ray tracing or tensor acceleration. The feature set instead rests on the GCN 4.0 architecture and its listed API support: DirectX 12 (12_0), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.3. The pipeline consists of 512 shading units, 32 TMUs, and 16 ROPs. The bus interface is PCIe 3.0 x8. Display outputs are Portable Device Dependent, so the actual display feature set is determined by the integrating device, not by a fixed set of connectors on the GPU record.
