AMD launches Radeon Mobility GPUs


AMD has unveiled its first two 40nm GPUs (graphics processing units) graphic card in the Radeon Mobility HD 6000 series i.e. Radeon HD 6500M and HD 6300M. The new cards are based on a 40nm GPU and provide full support for DirectX 11. These features already seen in Mobility HD 5000 series, but AMD has now added another two new features to it.

The first is HD3D, the standard that AMD used to create 3D images on the screen magic. EyeSpeed tech which is supposed to allow for fast gaming, smooth video playback (even when streaming from the interweb), and the simultaneous running of multiple apps at ‘maximum speed’.
The Radeon HD 6500m and 6300M series are built for the middle and lower segment. Radeon HD 6500M models feature 400 Stream Processors, core clocks of 500 to 650 MHz, and DDR3 memory @ 1.8 GHz or GDDR5 VRAM @ 3.6 GHz. The Radeon HD 6300M pack 80 SPs, GPU clocks of 500-750 MHz, and 1.6/1.8 GHz DDR3 memory.

6300M comes with 80 less shader units but it does great for a smooth representation of (3D) HD video in the highest quality. These video cards, depending on the application, at 500 to 750 MHz with a DDR3 memory speeds of from 1600 to 1800 MHz.

“One year ago AMD claimed the title of undisputed technology leader in mobile graphics performance and since then we continue to pave the way for mobile computing innovation,” said Matt Skynner, corporate vice president and general manager, GPU Division, AMD. “With the introduction of the AMD Radeon HD 6000M series, AMD’s best just got better by cementing its leadership in notebook graphics. Through our feature-rich line of top-to-bottom next-generation notebook graphics, including AMD’s.
