Advanced Micro Devices next generation Graphic Card with GDDR5 memory.

AMD announced that its next-generation ATI Radeon graphics cards will be the first commercial implementation of GDDR5 memory. According to AMD, the new memory will allow for faster, smaller, and cheaper graphics cards.

The GDDR5 has 5x higher data rates than that of GDDR3 and 4x that of GDDR4. The GDDR5 is capable of delivering an astonishing amount of bandwidth over a narrower memory interface, which delivers superior performance delivered from smaller, more cost-effective chips.

The GDDR5 memory provides other benefits that include increased accuracy in calculations by way of new error detection mechanisms and more power-efficient graphics cards, according to AMD.

This graphic card is faster than the speed of light, well almost, but it certainly will have every gamer drool as they fire up their PC and begin to play Warcraft or any of the latest games offered today.

This graphic card is not only the latest and greatest, but it’s affordable as well according to AMD.

Based on AMD internal testing that demonstrates 30% lower DRAM memory bus power when comparing GDDR5 to GDDR3. GDDR3 at 2Gbps runs at 2.0V and GDDR5 at 4.0Gbps runs at 1.5V in 3DMark01 Nature test. Specs demonstrate that GDDR5 is capable of up to 12.8Gbps vs. GDDR4’s 3.2Gbps and GDDR3’s 2.4Gbps.
