AMD Releases Dual-Processor Graphics Card
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) today introduced a high-end graphics card whose core will also be part of its next-generation Fusion processors.
The ATI Radeon 3870 X2 graphics card combines two chips from its predecessor, ATI Radeon 3870, on one board, doubling its performance, said Patrick Moorhead, vice president of advanced marketing at AMD. The ATI Radeon 3870 had one chip on the card. The chips, manufactured using the 55-nanometer process, are more power efficient and deliver better performance than the previous graphics processors, Moorhead said.
Targeted at PC users who want high-end graphics, the X2 graphics board supports Microsoft’s DirectX 10.1 gaming platform, Taylor said. The graphics board plugs into a PCI Express slot, and supports up to 1G byte of memory. It includes DVI (digital visual interface) and DisplayLink ports to support external multimedia devices.
The card will be available soon at Beliscity.com.
