AMD Unveils world’s fastest Graphics chip - AMD Radeon HD 7970

AMD has released its first graphics card based on its graphics cores next architecture, Reg told you about in excruciating detail in the summer. According to AMD, the map - is also the only GPU to be built using a 28-nanometer process - Radeon HD 7970th.

"This video card is a revolution in the printing industry," crowed AMD GPU Honcho Matt Skynet in AMD's announcement. "To put it bluntly, the 28nm AMD Radeon HD 7970 changes everything!"

AMD's Graphics Core Next (Google content network) architecture is a from-the-bottom-up innovation of GPU design, leaving the time-honored very long instruction word (VLIW) architecture and replace it with "compute units" (Custom), mainly vector nuclei containing multiple single-instruction stream multiple data stream (SIMD) structures are programmed in a per-track basis.

What won the acronyms add up to - in theory at least, since we have not yet gotten our hands on the Google content network-based GPU - is a chip that not only gives a hefty dose of graphics power, but also suitable CPU cum GPU collaborative treatment known as "heterogeneous computing", where parts of the tasks assigned to calculate or graphics cores depending on who can manage them most effectively.

Radeon 7970 HD, Skynet is not as Dubs modest "world's fastest GPU", includes support for PCIe 3.0 and AMD CrossFire multi-GPU tech, plus AMD App Acceleration, which it claims "delivers superb high-definition video images and exceptional performance for everyday applications.
