AMD next-gen Radeon HD 6900 series GPUs

Although the leaks that occurred over the past few weeks and months have provided us with plenty of information regarding what we could (and should) expect from AMD's Cayman-based graphics cards, the day when AMD officially releases its next-gen Radeon HD 6900 series GPUs has finally arrived.

So, today, the company took the wrapps off its first two HD 6900 models, the flagship Radeon HD 6970 and the Radeon HD 6950, which will soon be pitted against their rivals from NVIDIA in an epic struggle for the consumers' attention (and cash).

The Radeon HD 6970 delivers 2.7 TFLOPs (IEEE754-SP)/675 GFLOPs (IEEE754-DP) of compute power, featuring a Core Clock Speed of 880MHz, 24 SIMD / 1536 ALU Stream Processors, 96 texture units, 32 ROPs and 128 Z-Stencils, 2GB GDDR5 memory on a 256 bit and 5.5 Gbps bandwidth, while the board power is rated below 300W.

The AMD Radeon HD 6950, on the other hand, delivers 2.25 TFLOPs (IEEE754-SP)/563 GFLOPs (IEEE754-DP) of computer power with the help of its Core clocked at 800MHz, as well as its 22 SIMD / 1408 ALU stream processors.

The second 6900 series Radeon also features 88 texture units, the same ROPs / Z-Stencil figures as the its more powerful sibling, as well as the same amoung of memory (although the bandwidth is slightly smaller, just 5 Gbps), but a lower power consumption (TDP under 225W).

After checking out the tech specs, we'll also have to mention that, theoretically, the HD 6970 is 15 percent faster than the 580 and the 6950 is 20 percent faster than the 470, but no comparative data involving the 500 series from NVIDIA has been provided.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
