About AMD Radeon R2 Mobile Graphics
The AMD Radeon R2 Mobile Graphics is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) built on the GCN 2.0 architecture, utilizing the Beema chip. Fabricated on a 28 nm process at GlobalFoundries, it integrates 930 million transistors across a 107 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 8.7M per mm². Released on 2015-01-27, it is now marked as end-of-life. The database lists its average benchmark score as 0, placing it at the 50th percentile against all GPUs, though no individual benchmark samples are recorded. With a TDP of 15 W, it is clearly aimed at low-power mobile platforms.
How It Compares
The FACT PACK provides no nearestRivals entries for this product. Consequently, direct performance comparisons against specific competing GPUs are unavailable from the data. The product's percentile vs all GPUs is 50, indicating a nominal median position in the database's ranking, but the average benchmark score of 0 means no actual performance samples have been logged to substantiate that placement. Its lineage places it between the TeraScale 3 IGP and the GCN 3.0 IGP, but no scores exist for either predecessor or successor. Without rival data, the only quantitative positioning is the 50th percentile, which is a neutral midpoint, though the zero score suggests the position is provisional and not based on measured performance.
Ray Tracing and Feature Set
The Radeon R2 Mobile Graphics has no dedicated ray tracing cores, as the rtCores field is null, and no tensor cores, with the tensorCores field also null. Its feature set is defined entirely by its API support: it supports DirectX 12 (12_0), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.2.170. The architecture is GCN 2.0, which does not include hardware-accelerated ray tracing. The absence of RT and tensor cores means any ray-traced workloads would rely on software fallbacks, if they run at all. The shading units number 128, with 8 texture mapping units and 4 render output units. The pixel rate is 1.988 GPixel/s and the texture rate is 3.976 GTexel/s, indicating a very low fillrate capability that would be quickly overwhelmed by any modern graphics effects.
Who Should Consider It
Given the extremely low compute throughput of 127.2 GFLOPS FP32, the Radeon R2 Mobile Graphics is not suited for modern 3D gaming or GPU-accelerated compute tasks. The pixel rate of 1.988 GPixel/s and texture rate of 3.976 GTexel/s are far below what is required for high-resolution rendering or even moderate settings at lower resolutions. The data suggests this IGP is intended for basic 2D desktop environments, office productivity, and video playback on portable devices. Its 15 W TDP aligns with ultra-low-power laptops. For high resolutions or demanding settings, the data does not support any recommendation, as no benchmark scores exist to validate such usage. Users should expect only fundamental display output capabilities, with no headroom for gaming or creative workloads.

Memory Subsystem
The memory subsystem is entirely system-shared. The VRAM size, type, and bus width are all designated as "System Shared", and the bandwidth is "System Dependent". This means the GPU borrows from the system's main memory, so its effective memory performance is contingent on the host system's RAM configuration and speed. For high-resolution workloads, this is a critical limitation because there is no dedicated high-bandwidth VRAM. The lack of a dedicated memory bus means the GPU competes with the CPU for memory access, which can severely bottleneck any graphics task. The pixel rate of 1.988 GPixel/s further constrains high-resolution output, as the fillrate is insufficient for large frame buffers, making even 1080p output a struggle if any compositing is involved.
Power and Cooling
The TDP is rated at 15 W, which is typical for an integrated graphics processor in a mobile platform. The slot width is listed as "IGP", meaning it is integrated onto the motherboard or CPU package, not a discrete card. No power connectors are listed, with the powerConnectors field null, and no suggested PSU is provided, with the suggestedPsu field also null. This is consistent with an IGP that draws power from the motherboard's integrated power delivery. Cooling is handled by the laptop's existing thermal solution, as no dedicated cooler is required. The 15 W TDP indicates a low thermal footprint, suitable for thin and light notebooks where space and battery life are prioritized over performance.
Benchmark Performance
The database records an average benchmark score of 0 for the AMD Radeon R2 Mobile Graphics, and the benchmarks array is empty. This means there are no recorded performance samples to analyze. The percentile vs all GPUs is 50, which would nominally place it at the median of the database, but this is misleading given the zero score. Without any rival entries in the nearestRivals field, no percentage deltas can be computed. The raw compute figures provide the only quantitative insight: FP32 performance is 127.2 GFLOPS, pixel rate is 1.988 GPixel/s, and texture rate is 3.976 GTexel/s. These numbers are exceptionally low by modern standards. For context, the product's predecessor is TeraScale 3 IGP and its successor is GCN 3.0 IGP, but no scores are available for either. The lack of benchmark data prevents any meaningful performance comparison or percentage calculations, leaving only the raw silicon specifications as evidence of its limited capability.
