AMD Moves Up New CPU, Graphics Chips for 2010

[Guest]

Thought 6xxx would be out end of 2010, will be nice to see its performance, watch for the 5850 cards to fall nicely in price, bang on the money!

well now, the worm has indeed turned. I agree with the post that nVidia have sat on their laurels while they had the upper hand. A lack of investment in R&D, resulting in the 8xxx series being constantly rebranded, a die shrink here and there. AMD/ATI have had the upper hand since the HD4xxx series, and if they get this right will be there for some time. I hope this is a new series, rather than an update, otherwise nVidia will be get back on top again. It's not all about having the best product, but the best product set, at the right price that wins the day. Kudos to AMD/ATI.

@sneaky jedi

for that to happen both ATI and Nvidia will have to slow down product releases, if ATI did not release the 6xxx series cards they risk losing ground to fermi cards ditto for fermi

just waiting for bulldozer so we can see a little progress with the CPU market

The 6xxx from AMD is not going to be much faster than current crop, it's just a die size change. Possibly lower power, higher frequencies.

I would like to see a card that's 1200 shader, 36 ROPs, and with improved tessellation to go against the GTX 460. I don't think AMD needs to refresh the lower end of its lineup yet, but it will be interesting to see what they put out in the next few months.

With all due respect sir, ATI stopped making integrated graphics for Intel platforms since it was acquired by AMD.

It will be a big update (and a even bigger one with the 7000).

HD5870 40nm --> HD6770 40nm with more performance in DX11. Probably higher speed GDDR5 (who says 6000-7000Mhz)

HD6870 28nm (2011) --> as fast or faster than a 5970 / HD6750CF

With computing, anything earlier than expected is impressive.

So its only GPU's and notebook procs? how long before a new line of desktops CPU's?

I cant wait to burn the Intel proc this comment was written on

 

[OvrClkr]

very good news, now all we need is a legit date for dozer to drop.

 

[hunter315]

Well guess im just going to end up skipping the 5xxx series and going straight to the 6xxx series.

[citation][nom]Ciuy[/nom]its all about the pricing !!!![/citation]

I can't thumbs-up this enough.

 

[ares1214]

ha, NOW its a war. the race is on and to the victor go the spoils.

 

[marraco]

[citation][nom]cptnjarhead[/nom]Sounds good and all.. but where are all the games?All this hardware is great.. but so far i have only seen a few games slated for pc that will push these cards. Seems like more choices in graphics cards than games to play on them.[/citation]

[wiinippongamer]

[citation][nom]rohitbaran[/nom]Well, their CPUs aren't the best, but they offer some value in the lower segment and keep some restraint on Intel from charging ridiculous amounts for their products. In the graphics area, if you say AMD sucks, you aren't updated.[/citation]


it's just steve jobs, dont even pay attention to him

oh no , with the hd 6000 it is actually a possibility : performance/power has gone up solid with each release from hd 3000 onwards (2000 was a hog , sure).

 

[cyberkuberiah]

[citation][nom]hunter315[/nom]Well guess im just going to end up skipping the 5xxx series and going straight to the 6xxx series.[/citation]

i have a 5850 . i will skip the 6000 and hopefully get 7000 (northern islands ) , hopefully 28nm in late 2011 .

[citation][nom]Spanky Deluxe[/nom]Wow, 6xxx series already? I only bought my 5970 last week![/citation]
I just installed mine yesterday. I know that you can procrastinate forever, but damn!!!

 

[Immoral Medic]

I am STILL waiting for the 5890...!

 

[zorky9]

looks like my HD 4890 will hang on for another few months... was thinking of the GTX460, but now... that Radeon 6000 series sounds very appealing indeed.

 

[JonnyDough]

I <3 the green team and I'm not afraid to say it. No, that doesn't make me a fanboy.

 

[DjEaZy]

... keep up the good work...

 

[madass]

Does this mean games will only run DX11 by the end of the year?

 

[Strider-Hiryu_79]

@TH Staff: anyword on PCI Express 2.1 motherboards yet?

 

[dertechie]

No news of Bulldozer then. I was hoping to see that pushed forward. I would expect AMD to be bragging about what it can do more by now (besides 'eats threaded integer code for breakfast'). I guess 32nm is causing problems if AMD is putting Bobcat on the same 40nm process that's causing them such supply issues with Radeons. Fortunately, Bobcat should be a tiny little chip with fewer yield issues and they know the process now.
