Today appeared information about the failure of AMD plans to release Radeon HD 7990. Instead of the product, according to assocaite , will be released faster than Radeon HD 7970 graphics accelerator, a single processor. It still referred under the code Tenerife, includes 384-bit bus, and 3 GB GDDR5 memory . The computational performance compared to Radeon HD 7970 is expected to increase by 20%. According to associate , the number of stream processors should reach 2304 pieces, and the TDP under load - 250W. Announcement of Tenerife is scheduled for the third quarter this or the first quarter next year, there may be some improvements at the architectural level.
The card will support two mini-DisplayPort outputs and a full-sized port HDMI, while the number of supported simultaneous displays can be up to six pieces.
Presented slide are dated in March this year. The floating-point single-precision performance of Tenerife can reach 4.5 teraflops. Apparently, Tenerife is just a response to Kepler.
The fate of Radeon HD 7990 has not been solved completely. AMD supposedly can not create an effective cooling system for such a dual-processor graphics solution. Related Products :
