Shader units and compute resources
The AMD Radeon E9174 MXM 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.
E9174 MXM Clock Speeds
GPU and memory frequencies
Clock speeds directly impact the Radeon E9174 MXM'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 E9174 MXM by AMD dynamically adjusts frequencies based on workload, temperature, and power limits to maximize performance while maintaining stability.
AMD's Radeon E9174 MXM Memory
VRAM capacity and bandwidth
VRAM (Video RAM) is dedicated memory for storing textures, frame buffers, and shader data. The Radeon E9174 MXM'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 E9174 MXM by AMD Cache
On-chip cache hierarchy
On-chip cache provides ultra-fast data access for the E9174 MXM, 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 E9174 MXM
AMD Radeon E9174 MXM is an embedded graphics module from the Embedded (9000) generation. It uses the Lexa chip built on GCN 4.0 architecture, manufactured by GlobalFoundries on a 14 nm process. The die holds 2,200 million transistors over 103 mm², for a transistor density of 21.4M / mm². Its release date is 2 October 2017 and its production status is end-of-life. The database places it at the 50th percentile of all GPUs and records an average benchmark score of 0. No benchmark entries and no nearest rivals are present in the record, so the analysis below is drawn from the specification fields and the percentile.
Benchmark Performance
The only performance position available is the 50th percentile. A GPU at this percentile sits at the midpoint of the database distribution: half of all GPUs rank above it and half below. The average benchmark score is 0, and no individual benchmark results are included. Therefore no exact percentage delta can be computed against any named competitor, because no competitor entries are listed. What is available is the raw compute specification.
The GPU contains 512 shading units, 32 texture mapping units, and 16 ROPs. Its base clock is 1124 MHz and its boost clock is 1219 MHz. FP32 throughput is 1,248.3 GFLOPS, and FP16 throughput is also 1,248.3 GFLOPS at a 1:1 ratio. Texture fill rate is 39.01 GTexel/s, and pixel fill rate is 19.50 GPixel/s. These numbers are the numerical envelope for throughput; without benchmark scores, they cannot be converted into frame-rate comparisons. The data does not provide per-game or per-workload results, so the FP32 and fill-rate values cannot be correlated with application settings. The 50th percentile is a rank across all GPUs, not a percentage lead or deficit relative to a specific product.
Memory Subsystem
The memory subsystem consists of 4 GB of GDDR5 on a 128-bit bus. The memory clock is 1500 MHz, with a 6 Gbps effective data rate. The resulting bandwidth is 96.00 GB/s. For high-resolution work, the 4 GB frame buffer is a hard capacity limit: any scene exceeding that amount of geometry, texture, and render-target data cannot be held on the card. Bandwidth of 96.00 GB/s is the transfer ceiling between the frame buffer and the GPU’s shading units. The 128-bit bus width is the structural constraint behind that figure.
The 1500 MHz memory clock and the 6 Gbps effective rate are two ways of describing the same memory signaling. The 128-bit bus determines how much data moves per memory transaction, and the listed bandwidth is the resulting throughput. The record does not state at which resolution that limit begins to bind, but both capacity and bandwidth are finite, fixed specifications that will constrain large or high-resolution workloads. There is no memory configuration beyond this 4 GB GDDR5 setup in the data.
Ray Tracing and Feature Set
The feature set is based on GCN 4.0. The supported APIs are DirectX 12 (12_0), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.3. Those APIs define the software interface available to the host system. The data does not list any RT core count or tensor core count, so dedicated hardware ray tracing acceleration and tensor processing are not part of the reported features. The absence of those entries means the data does not support a claim of dedicated hardware acceleration for those functions.
General-purpose execution is handled by 512 shading units, 32 TMUs, and 16 ROPs. The FP16 rate is listed as 1:1 with FP32, both at 1,248.3 GFLOPS, so there is no separate high-throughput FP16 mode. The chip is a Lexa part built on a 14 nm process with 2,200 million transistors on a 103 mm² die. This is a GCN 4.0 module with a defined API feature level and no dedicated RT/tensor block in the database.
How It Compares
The database names no nearest rivals for this GPU. There are no rival scores and no deltaPct comparison values to report. Consequently, per-rival comparison paragraphs cannot be written. It would require inventing entries not present in the data.
The only comparative anchor is the 50th percentile placement. That places the E9174 MXM exactly at the median of the database distribution; the same number of GPUs are above and below it, although the database does not identify them. This is a positional statement, not a performance delta. Without named nearest rivals, this section cannot state a percentage lead or deficit relative to any specific product. The absence of benchmark scores further prevents any rival ranking based on measured performance.
Power and Cooling
The TDP is 50 W. The slot width is MXM Module, and the bus interface is MXM-A (3.0). The module takes no auxiliary power connectors, so electrical power is supplied through the MXM-A connector. No suggested PSU rating is listed in the data, so no power supply figure is stated here.
Cooling is not defined by heatsink dimensions or cooler type; only the 50 W TDP and the MXM module form factor are present in the record. The thermal solution is therefore host-dependent rather than fixed by the card. Display outputs are listed as portable device dependent, meaning the output configuration is determined by the host device rather than fixed on the module. This also means the module cannot be described by a fixed set of display connectors.
Who Should Consider It
This module is directed at systems with an MXM-A (3.0) slot and a 50 W thermal envelope. Its Embedded (9000) generation label and release date of 2 October 2017 place it in the embedded product line, and its end-of-life production status means integrators must plan around a product that is no longer in production.
Memory expectations are set by 4 GB GDDR5 and 96.00 GB/s bandwidth. Compute expectations are set by 1,248.3 GFLOPS FP32, matching 1,248.3 GFLOPS FP16, 39.01 GTexel/s texture fill, and 19.50 GPixel/s pixel fill. API compatibility covers DirectX 12 (12_0), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.3. Because no benchmark scores are included, a resolution/settings-specific recommendation cannot be grounded in measured data. Instead, the appropriate use case is an embedded MXM-A platform where GCN 4.0 API coverage, 50 W power, 4 GB GDDR5, and portable-device-dependent display outputs are the deciding factors. It is an MXM module rather than a standard desktop expansion card, so host integration is the relevant context.
