AMD Officially Introduces the ATI Radeon HD 4600 Series
AMD today announced the ATI Radeon HD 4600 series of mainstream graphics offerings that deliver up to double gaming and HD multimedia performance while consuming less power.
Comprising the ATI Radeon HD 4670 and the ATI Radeon HD 4650 graphics cards, the ATI Radeon HD 4600 series leverages the technology found in the ATI Radeon HD 4800 series, including support for the latest DirectX 10.1 and industry leading performance-per-watt.
The ATI Radeon HD 4670 and ATI Radeon HD 4650 graphics cards feature AMD's TeraScale graphics engine, with 320 stream processing cores, and are based on AMD's second generation 55nm process. AMD claims that the even in today?s most demanding games like Crysis, the ATI Radeon HD 4600 series delivers up to double the performance of competing products at the same price.
The ATI Radeon HD 4670 is clocked at 750MHz and it is operating at under 60 watts and the ATI Radeon HD 4650 operating under 50 watts under full load, eliminating the need for additional power connectors.
The ATI Radeon HD 4670 is immediately available with a frame buffer of 512MB GDDR3 memory with an MSRP from USD $79, while a 1GB DDR3-based variant is scheduled to ship later this month. The ATI Radeon HD 4650 features a frame buffer of 512MB GDDR2 memory, runs at 600MHz and is expected to be available later in the month at an MSRP from USD $69.
"Today, AMD is providing mainstream users ? one of the largest segments of the market with superior graphics products and performance at previously unheard of prices," said Rick Bergman, senior vice president and general manager, Graphics Products Group, AMD. "The success of the ATI Radeon HD 4000 series validates that AMD's shift away from the traditional means of producing large, hot, monolithic graphics chip continues to be a successful strategy AMD continues to execute against its timelines and deliver leading graphics performance at every price point."
Building high-performance versions of the ATI Radeon HD 4600 series products are ASUS, Club 3D, Diamond Multimedia, Force3D, GECUBE, GIGABYTE, HIS (Hightech Information Systems), Jetway, MSI, Palit Multimedia, PowerColor, SAPPHIRE Technology and VisionTek.
