A couple of sites are carrying news about AMD’s newest offerings in the graphics space, the Radeon HD6800 series. Over at EXPreview, they have some details on the upcoming 6870 (shown above) and 6850.
AMD Radeon HD 6870 is based on Barts XT,features 960 stream processors,1GB GDDR5 memory,with memory interface of 256-bit,core/memory frequency of 900MHz/4200MHz,respectively.
AMD Radeon HD 6850 is based on Barts Pro,features 800 stream processors,1GB GDDR5 memory,with memory interface of 256-bit,core/memory frequency of 775MHz/4000MHz,seperately.
And Techspot has a full slide (from Chiphell) showing some of the detailed specs of the 6700 series.
It still seems weird to not be calling them the ATI Radeon’s, but I suppose it had to happen eventually. All the cards looks pretty nice, but I’m sad to see only 1GB of ram on each, and a 256bit bus. They might be great for gaming, but seems they aren’t focusing very heavily on GPGPU with these releases.
