The Radeon 5450 has not been released, yet is already for sale at a number of on-line shops. The card comes with 512 MB of memory running at 800 MHz on a 64-bit bus. A 1 GB version of the card is expected as well. The GPU runs at 650 MHz, has 80 shaders, and is passively cooled. The card comes with DVI, VGA, and HDMI outputs. The card also supports ATI Eyefinity Technology which allows you to run up to 3 displays, not that you would want to do this with such a low-end card. You can buy the card today from the likes of Mwave for $53.99 and Provantage for $66.94. AMD is scheduled to launch the 5450 on February 6th.
The Radeon 5570 should also launch in February. The 5570 comes with either 512 MB or 1 GB of memory running at 900 MHz, and 400 shaders running at 650 MHz.
The launch for a different graphics card, the 5830, was to launch on January 25, but has been pushed back later into February according to an article on Digitimes. According to the article, the reason for the delay was that a problem on the circuitboard was triggering an error when it underwent testing.
