Amongst the leaked slides, AMD's
upcoming graphics card fall into low-end or mid-end segment of its ATI Radeon HD 5000 series family. ATI Radeon HD 5350 is codenamed as
Evora Cedar and is listed to launch on January 7, 2010. Yes, that's when the CES 2010
convention starts and hence, it's obvious that AMD will announce it then. This
Radeon HD 5350 has 1GB onboard memory (GDDR5) and offers three ports HDMI,
DVI and
While the other card Radeon HD
5570, codenamed Jaguar, will offer 2GB onboard memory (GDDR5) and will be
introduced on February 20, 2010. This new Jaguar card will support DisplayPort along
with HDMI and DVI instead of VGA port found in HD 5350. No details about the
core clockspeeds were available.
Apart from these two new graphics
cards from ATI, the HP's leaked plan also pointed at new Intel Core i3 and Core
i5 processors in anvil. The upcoming Intel Core i3 and Core i5 chips would be
based on anticipated Clarkdale cores that recently got the
GPGPU support.
Intel Core i3 6xx and Core i5 6xx
would be power conscious microprocessors with a difference of higher L3 Cache
(4MB vs 3MB), Turbo Boost technology support. The Intel Core i5 will feature AES-NI
support including seven instructions to accelerate different encryption and
decryption aspects. Apart from that, Core i5 6xx also supports Intel's Turbo
Boost technology which is absent for Core i3 6xx chips. No further details
about the core clockspeeds or any other facts were disclosed.
Hopefully, at the upcoming CES 2010, we'll get more details on these GPUs and CPUs.
