AMD GPUs tout performance as high as 2 TFLOPS

摘要

AMD (Advanced Micro Devices) has unveiled the first two members of its second-generation DX11 -supportive family, the Radeon HD 6000 series of GPUs (graphics-processing units). Both the HD 6850 and 6870 use a 40-nm process and have 1.7 billion transistors. Engine clocks run at 725 and 900 MHz, respectively, and computation performance is 1.5 and 2 TFLOPS (trillion floating-point operations/sec), respectively. The 6850 has 960 system processors, and the 6870 has 1120, and peak power con-rnsumption is 127 and 151W, respectively.
