The attentive gang over at Anand have picked out sweet news from AMD’s earnings call last night, citing CEO Dirk Meyer as saying “we will be launching our second-generation DX11 graphics offerings next week.” After announcing the new product line next week, AMD promises to flood the market with “hundreds of thousands of units,” which will be shipping before the end of this quarter — meaning you’ll have a Radeon HD 6xxx in time for the holiday gaming craze if you really want it. That’s great. Last time AMD had a crisis of shortage for HD5000-series when it was launched.
The AMD Radeon 6870 has a core clock speed of 900MHz with 960 stream processors, and 256-bit memory frequency GDDR5 at 1050MHz; effectively result in a frequency of 4200MHz. The HD 6850 on the other hand has a clock speed of 725MHz from the 800 stream processors. The GDDR5 has the same 256-bit memory frequency, but at a slightly lower 1000MHz, resulting in a total of 4000MHz effectively. If you look at the leaked 3Dmark Vantage score, the replacement numbering is rather odd. The HD6870 is a replacement of the HD5850 instead of the HD5870. Same thing goes to the HD6850, which will replace the HD5830 or HD5770 instead of the HD5850. Then again, AMD might change the naming at least minute, so take these with a pint of salt.
