AMD has launched the ATI Radeon, HD 4850 - a teraFLOPS graphics card, and ATI Radeon HD 4870 - a graphics card featuring ultra high bandwidth GDDR5 memory. According to an AMD communique, both are world's firsts in visual computing arena.
These 2 innovations combine with trademark AMD energy-efficient design and DirectX 10.1 compatibility - to deliver superior performance at the high-volume mainstream and performance price points, informs the company.
"The ATI Radeon 4800 series represents a 2X performance jump over the ATI Radeon HD 3800 GPU, the biggest generational increase since the game-changing launch of the Radeon9700 in 2002," said Rick Bergman, senior vice president and general manager, Graphics Products Group, AMD.
"AMD made a strategic decision to focus on GPU designs that maximized our efficiency, and allowed us to provide enthusiasts, performance and mainstream users with the most compelling value proposition at every price point. The ATI Radeon 4800 series sets a new industry standard in key metrics such as performance-per-watt, performance-per-square mm of chip die size, and performance-per-dollar," he added.
The ATI Radeon HD 4870 represents 1.2 teraFLOPS of visual compute power. It features a stock GPU core clock speed of 750 MHz, 512 MB of GDDR5 memory rated at 3.6 gigabits/second, and comes in a dual-slot PCI Express 2.0 configuration with a maximum board power of 160 watts.
The ATI Radeon HD 4850 800 stream processing cores (identical to the ATI Radeon HD 4870), a stock GPU core clock speed of 625 MHz, 512 MB of GDDR3 memory rated at 2 gigabits/second, and comes in a single-slot PCI Express 2.0 configuration with a maximum board power of 110 watts.
