AMD Radeon HD 6870 .. GPU-Z + 3D Mark Vantage Benchmark !
Aug 28th
On a Chinese website, a forum member posted a GPU-Z screenshot and a 3DMark Vantage Extreme benchmark of the upcoming Radeon HD 6870 from ATI which is expected to be sold next November.
Lets take a look at GPU-Z first:
As you can see, GPU-Z did not recognize the full information of the card but we will analyze the shown data:
- GPU ID: “6718″ according to codenames shown in Catalyst 10.8 driver indicates “Cayman XT” GPU.
- Bus width: 256-bit, same as the HD 58xx.
- Core Clock: 850 MHz, same as the HD 5870.
- Memory Clock: 1600 MHz or 6400 MT/s which is ~33% higher than that of the HD 5870 resulting in a memory BW of 204.8 GB/s which is higher than that of the GTX 480 by ~18.17%.
According to “W1zzard” the author of GPU-Z: “nothing i can see in the gpuz part of the screenshot that suggests it’s fake”
Now, lets take a look at the benchmark: More >
AMD Cores: “Bulldozer” and “Bobcat” .. Overview Video
Aug 25th
At HOT CHIPS 22, AMD will reveal new details on its two next-generation x86 processor core implementations, including AMD’s unique approach to high-performance, multi-threaded computing, as well as a sub one-watt capable low-power design. The two new designs, codenamed “Bulldozer” for high-performance PC and server markets, and “Bobcat” for low-power notebook and small form-factor desktop markets, were designed from the ground-up to address specific customer requirements and compute workloads. The new cores are central to AMD’s future roadmap, including the AMD Fusion Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) products and AMD’s new high-performance server and client CPUs.
