AMD planned to retake the notebook video lead Tuesday with the release of the Radeon HD 6990M. The chipset is in many ways equivalent to the desktop 6870 and has a full 1,120 stream processors (visual effects cores) at 715MHz along with 900MHz actual (3.6GHz effective) GDDR5 memory. The performance is enough to make it […]
NVIDIA’s second-generation Fermi graphics has now entered into the budget class with the launch of the GeForce GTX 550 Ti. The card costs just $150 and drops below the $250 of the GTX 560 Ti by cutting back on its parallelism. The 550 Ti uses 192 processing cores versus the higher-end chipset’s 384, a reduced […]
Today AMD had a low-profile launch for three new mid-range Radeon HD desktop video cards destined for computer builders. The Radeon HD 6450, 6570 and 6670 have the same DirectX 11 (OpenGL 4) features and GDDR5 memory support as their larger counterparts but have been trimmed back to reduce the cost and fit in tighter […]
NVIDIA today released an entry level video chipset, the GeForce GT 430. The design is targeted at home theater computers where video playback support is more important than raw 3D performance. With that focus, the chipset now supports HDMI with passthrough audio. It can output HDMI 1.4a for full 3D video along with Dolby TrueHD […]
AMD in the wrap-up of the IFA show detailed a new processor based on its Fusion hybrid CPU and graphics combos that would be targeted at a larger class of system than the netbook-oriented Ontario. Zacate will consume twice as much energy at 18W, likely due to a higher clock speed, but will be fast […]
