AMD today introduced its lineup of next-generation DirectX 11-capable ATI Mobility Radeon Premium graphics, including ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 graphics, the highest performance graphics for notebooks in the world.
The entire family of DirectX 11-capable graphics consists of ATI
Mobility Radeon HD 5800, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5700, ATI Mobility
Radeon HD 5600 and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5400 series graphics. This
top-to-bottom family of Direct 11-capable notebook graphics introduces
compelling new features including ATI Eyefinity multi-display
technology, bringing powerful visual gaming and computing innovation to
the notebook PC. Notebooks featuring the new graphics technology are previewed at the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in the VISION Experience Center, located in the Grand Lobby of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
“Six months ago AMD claimed the title of undisputed technology leader
in desktop graphics, and now we also offer powerful mobile graphics
processors for notebooks to go with our market leadership in that
segment,” said Rick Bergman, senior vice president and general manager,
Products Group, AMD. “Once again, AMD changes the game both in terms of
performance and experience. AMD innovations now give notebook users
full DirectX 11 support, eye-opening ATI Eyefinity technology, superb
HD multimedia capabilities, and ATI Stream technology designed to help
optimize Windows 7 notebook performance.”
The next-generation family of DirectX 11-capable ATI Mobility Radeon HD
5000 series graphics represents a powerful upgrade for OEMs to existing
and upcoming 2009 AMD Mainstream and 2nd Generation
Ultrathin notebook platforms, as well as next-generation “Danube”
mainstream and “Nile” ultrathin notebook platforms scheduled to launch
in the first half of 2010. These graphics innovations are designed to
let you:
