The Radeon HD 7990

The developer calls the fastest graphics card in the world. It is equipped with two 28-nanometer chips Tahiti, each with 2048 stream processors and 128 texture units. Thus, the total number of stream processors up to 4096.

The total volume of GDDR5 memory and 384-bit memory bus is 6 GB. It supports DirectX 11 application programming interface, PCI Express 3.0 bus and a number of proprietary technologies AMD, in particular, the system Eyefinity.

The basic core speed of the chip is 950 MHz, the frequency in the "turbo" - 1000 MHz. The memory works at a frequency of 6000 MHz. The claimed speed reached 8.2 teraflops (trillion floating point operations per second).

As reported by AMD, the Radeon HD 7990 enables you to play games such as Tomb Raider and Crysis 3 with a resolution of 4K (3840 × 2160 pixels). Buyers accelerator, in addition to the above games will be offered free Bioshock Infinite, DeusEx: Human Revolution, Sleeping Dogs, Hitman: Absolution, Far Cry 3 and Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon.

Performance of Radeon HD 7990

In the sale of a graphics accelerator Radeon HD 7990 will arrive in early May at an estimated price of 1000 dollars.

The chips have a hybrid configuration: they combine two or four processing cores and a graphics controller Jaguar generation Radeon HD 8000 with support for DirectX 11 API. According to the manufacturer, compared with the products of the previous G-Series new generation processors provide performance gains up to 113%.

With a frequency varies from 1.0 to 2.0 GHz, the maximum heat dissipation (TDP) - 9 to 25 watts. Frequency of integrated graphics, depending on the model, up to 300-600 MHz. In addition, the family got a chip (GX-416RA) without an integrated graphics core.

G-Series processors are designed for use in embedded systems: set-top boxes, thin clients, gaming machines, "smart" televisions, various electronic terminals, etc. Deliveries of the new G-Series products have already begun, and their price - from 49 to 72 dollars .

AMD Centurion FX Processor

It is reported that the chip generation Piledriver Vishera get eight cores and can operate at a frequency of 5 GHz with air cooling. However, it is not clear whether it is the nominal frequency or performance overclocked.

Centurion FX processor will be used in desktops and gaming systems for enthusiasts. With a chip to compete with the products of the Intel Core i7 Extreme Edition with an unlocked multiplier.

Centurion FX, according to the available information, will be offered at a price of $ 795.

In 2013, the projected global sale of computer chips will increase over the year 2012 by 1.6% and in terms of money - up to $ 40.7 billion on-year growth in unit shipments will reach 3.2% - up to 384 million units. The segment of x86-compatible chips AMD is second only to Intel.
