ATI Radeon HD 6850 and CFX - in the name of confusion, core power
Introduction
No doubt it is AMD For the video card market, the GF104 chip and the GTX 460 cards based on it are the biggest problems. Previous in our article we have already explained the parameters of the graphics processor in detail, so we would not go into this now. In summary, Cypress and GF104 show similarities in several respects (size, consumption), so AMD's room for maneuver has narrowed sharply in the mid-range. Unsurprisingly, the solution to the problem awaits the protagonists of our article today.
It is certain that the numbering of the new series will cause some confusion in the minds of our less experienced readers in the world of computing. We would also dare to bet with a greater amount that many do not agree with the names of the savages. We found two answers to why: AMD - for marketing reasons - is very attached to the 50s and 70s, respectively, and the HD 5700 series is reincarnated in an HD 6700 robe after a rename. We were in the fortunate position that at the time of writing, some information about the vision of HD 6000 series graphics cards has been leaked. As you can see below, the bigger fireworks have slipped over next year, but the high-end cards will run in later this year.
