During September last year AMD presented cypress chip , which became the first solutions with directX 11 support. Only later AMD presented solution for lower price range juniper. In the beginning of this years, with the production of redwood chip, video card with directX 11 support descended in the price below $100. Finally, the chip cedar , was presented officially yesterday. It served as a base for video card radeon HD 5450, which include only 80 stream processors, 8 units of sample and filtering textures, and also 4 blocks of scanning operations. With the video memory DDR2 or DDR3, and up to 1 Gb volume , Cedar chip communicates with 64- bit memory bus. According to the characteristics, the solution is completely identical to radeon HD 4550, the only difference in the increased core frequency : 650 MHz against 600 MHz.
Due to the use of 40 nm technological processes the card is completely cold - 19 W under load and only 6.5 W in the simple mode.
On average, the card demonstrates results only lower than Radeon HD 4550, and everywhere exceeds GeForce 210:
Would seem, ideal solution relatively rapid, cold and with the noiseless passive cooling, but one deficiency in the form of high recommended price - $49-59, which almost is one and half times higher than the actual current retail prices of competitive decisions . Related Products :
