AMD has rolled out a new Catalyst package developed for its embedded Radeon graphics and accelerated processing units (GPU and APU), namely version 14.8, which installs the 14.201.1005 graphics driver.

When it comes to the supported operating systems, this release can be applied only on computers running either bit variant of Microsoft’s Windows 7 OS, or the 64-bit architecture of the latest Microsoft platform, namely Windows 8.1.

As for the supported products, version 14.201.1005 is to be used along with AMD’s E8860, E6760, or E6460 embedded GPUs, and the R-series 1st (eTrinity) or 2nd (Blad Eagle) generation APUs.

In addition to that, the producer’s G-series SOCs (system on a chip) and CPUs, as well as the Radeon HD 5770 and HD 6770M embedded graphics are also compatible with this release.

If you intend to apply this new update, simply ensure that your system configuration is supported, save and unzip the downloadable archive, run the “setup.exe” file from within the newly extracted folder, and follow the on-screen instructions for a complete and successful upgrade.

In addition to that, if the installer doesn’t ask for it, do perform a system reboot upon completion in order to make sure that all changes take effect properly.

That being said, download AMD Embedded GPU and APU Driver 14.201.1005, apply it on your system, and constantly check with our website in order to stay “updated one minute ago.”
