The AMD Radeon R5 is an integrated graphics solution found in some AMD Bristol Rdge chips like the A10-9600P and A10-9630P.
The integrated chip offers 384 shader units clocked at a maximum of 800 MHz using six Compute Units based on the GCN architecture. Since the GPU doesn’t have a dedicated VRAM, it uses the available one on the system via the dual-channel DDR4-18600 memory controller.
Since it’s an mid level solution, it’s quite impressive that the chip is actually capable of decoding 4K videos using the UVD and the specialized video encoder VCE.
