AMD Releases Second Generation DX11 Notebook Graphics

AMD Releases Second Generation DX11 Notebook Graphics In addition to the Fusion APU Fusion processor, AMD today officially released the Radeon HD 6000M series of second generation DX11 notebook graphics cards, and announced their own detailed specifications.

In addition to the Radeon HD 6500M/6300M ​​series, which was simply enhanced from the 5000 series, the Radeon HD 6000M series has added four new sub-series, all using AMD's second-generation DX11 GPU cores. The manufacturing process is still TSMC 40nm, but the number of specific transistors has not been announced.

According to previous news, AMD will also release Radeon HD 7000M series third-generation DX11 notebook graphics cards using 28nm new technology in early 2012.

Like the Radeon HD 6000 series on the desktop, Radeon HD 6900M series mobile models also support Eye-Definition, Eyefinity, EyeSpeed, and three vision technologies, as well as HD3D stereo technology. Eye-Definition includes DirectX 11, OpenGL 4.1 and MSAA/SSAA/AAA/MLAA anti-aliasing, 16x AF anisotropic filtering, 128-bit HDR rendering and other image quality technologies; Eyefinity supports up to six screen outputs; EyeSpeed ​​includes APP acceleration in parallel Processing technology (OpenCL 1.1/DirectCompute 11), UVD3 video decoding engine and a large number of video quality enhancement technologies.

The display output supports VGA, DL-DVI (HDCP), HDMI 1.4a, DisplayPort 1.2 and other specifications. Audio integrated high-definition audio controller, support 7.1 channel HDMI, DisplayPort output, support Dolby TrueHD, DTS Master Audio source output.

Looking at the number of execution units, the new series has achieved a significant improvement. The Radeon HD 6900M series has increased to 960 stream processors and is comparable to the Radeon HD 6850 on the desktop. In particular, the memory bandwidth has also been increased to 256-bit. After the "degradation" of the 5000 series, it returned to the highest level of the 4000 series. The Radeon HD 6800M series is basically equivalent to the Mobility Radeon HD 5800 series. The Radeon HD 6700M/6600M series is one-fourth more than the Mobility Radeon HD 5700/5600 series. The Radeon HD 6400M series is twice as large as the Mobility Radeon HD 5400 series. .
