AMD Introduces ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3000 Series Processors for Notebooks
AMD officially announced today the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3000 series, a new family of graphics for high-definition gaming and video in notebook PCs.
The initial offerings consist
of ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400 series and ATI Mobility
Radeon HD 3600 series. ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3000
series allows notebook users to experience the full
power of HD through graphics processing. Featuring the latest technologies, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3000 series is optimized for the forthcoming AMD notebook platform,
code-named "Puma".
"ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3000 series delivers the absolute latest industry-standard technology breakthroughs for notebooks with Microsoft DirectX 10.1 and PCI Express 2.0 support. AMD is also the first company to offer integrated DisplayPort connectivity," said Matt Skynner, vice president of marketing, Graphics Products Group, AMD.
The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3000 series offers support for DirectX 10.1 by enabling a higher level of visual quality through new lighting and rendering techniques. New PCI Express 2.0 support enables faster throughput and greater overall system performance as compared to PCI Express 1.1.
Notebook users can play the latest Blu-ray and HD-DVD movies in full-HD 1080p resolution (HD display required) using ATI Avivo HD Technology which frees the CPU for other tasks. With a choice of digital outputs, notebook users can connect to a variety of displays featuring DVI, HDMI and the first ever next-generation DisplayPort support on a notebook platform.
At this year?s Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, AMD showcased the upcoming notebook platform, codenamed "Puma." In "Puma," the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3000 series graphics will join AMD Turion Ultra notebook processors and the forthcoming AMD RS780 chipset. AMD plans to introduce ?Puma? in the second quarter of 2008.
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400 series and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3600 series are currently shipping in notebooks from ASUS. Additional products in the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3000 series are scheduled for availability from notebook manufacturers in the first half of 2008.
