Thread: AMD establishes second Radeon HD 7000-series graphics processing unit

Las Vegas' annual CES device-fest is nearly upon us, and system integrators are going to need to depict off desktop Computers with entire the new graphics cards.


Problem is, expect past the currently-brought in Radeon HD 7970, and you will search that brand spankin' latest graphics processing units are some and long between. NVIDIA's following-generation GeForce is nowhere to be seen, and AMD's one-and-only Radeon 7000-series component is tough to justify.




OEMs require an option, and AMD has quietly obliged with the introduction of the Radeon HD 7670. The fresh card, spotted in current desktop Computer declaration and found tucked away in AMD's product pages, characteristics an 800MHz core, 480 stream processors, 24 texture units and 8 ROPs. That is joined through up to 1GB of GDDRFive stoarage hooked up to a 128-bit interface.


Sound known? It should, as the Radeon HD 7670 looks to be the similar as the Radeon HD 6670 established in April previous year.


The fresh card remains a potent answer, and it will be enjoyed through many Computer purchaser in the arriving months, but hey, way to dilute a fresh product rate. What we have just is Radeon HD 7000 series cards founded on 2 architectures; Graphics Core following and Graphics Core former.
