AMD unveils the HD 4850 and HD 4870 cards and gives a sneak peek of Bollywood 2.0 -- the desi moniker for Cinema 2.0
Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) officially launched its 4800 series graphics cards in India -- the ATI Radeon HD 4850 and the Radeon HD 4870 are finally, and officially here. Check out our review of the HD 4850 to get up to speed on the performance of this baby (hint: it's good).
Speaking on the key advancements made for the latest GPU, Raja Koduri, chief technology officer (Products Group) of AMD, said that AMD has worked upon the design efficiency of its latest GPUs to improve the price-to-performance ratio. "From an application stand point, we have delivered a graphic supercomputer for gamers with its teraflops compute power, whose purpose is to deliver stunning images," he said.
Design efficiency is measured by how much performance you can get off of the board that you buy for a given amount of money. How much performance increase are you getting compared to last year, and for what price. So in this generation of GPUs at a $200 price point, you can get a GPU that gives you double the performance for every watt of power consumed.
