Thread: AMD Radeon 6950/6970 Function

The previous two months has been one of the craziest on record for graphics product establish. When it creates a lot of functions for the reviewer, it is a so good day for the user. The Nvidia establish of GeForce GTX 570 last Tuesday was a well shot in the arm for those of you looking for excellent function.


Today AMD is establishing its Cayman architecture below the heading of Radeon HD 6970 and Radeon HD 6950. As you will see, AMD altered few of the architecture to create it quicker in various fields but too is introducing few new characteristic. The excellent component of this establishing is the function each dollar. Radeon HD 6970 is being introduced at to compete exactly with GeForce GTX 570. Radeon HD 6950 is establishing at. This should ultimately less the cost on entire of the cards in that band as HD 6950 pushes it way in.





On the pages that develop, we will research the fresh power and overclocking characteristic inner of Cayman. We will too assume a nearer appear at the alters in the architecture and point out why AMD created these alters and how it associates to function. AMD has a actual winner in together cards it is establishing now and as we assume a walk by all of the alter you should have a clear realizing of this as well.


he first major later to the architecture in Cayman is the utility of VLIWFour (So big Instruction Words). Since HD 2900 (R6xx), AMD/ATI has been using blocks of 5 ALUs strung both functioning VLIW5 super scalar direction step parallelism. Basically, the SIMD tells the array to show a task in parallel and bundles those directions in blocks of 5 to be function on the 4 common ALUs and the “Fat” unit that manages transcendental processing such as sine, cosine, e, square root, and log.
