AMD GPU roadmap for Radeon lovers

Let’s start with desktop processors first. According to the presentation, mainstream-level APU codenamed “Llano” - who just received its first ever public demonstration last month - will be released in 2011, together with two more APUs called “Bulldozer” for enthusiasts and “Zacate” for small form factor fans. Following them would be “Komodo”, “Trinity” and “Krishna” APU which will be heading into the market in 2012.

Moving on the desktop graphic cards, the presentation only listed releases up till Q1 2011 but boy, there are going to be quite a number of cards to be released during that period. We are looking at five new products; namely: Radeon HD 6990, 6970 and 6950 together with two more GPUs codenamed “Turks” and “Caicos”.The presentation also contained a number of other future releases that we didn’t cover here.



The ATI name might be dead, but Radeon graphics cards are only growing bigger, bolder and better. AMD's recent financial analyst day has made official what many of us already knew or suspected: there'll be three new high-end GPUs forthcoming in the first quarter of 2011.

The slides explicitly describe the recently launched HD 6870 / 6850 as mere refreshes, aiming to bring HD 5800 series performance in a more efficient package, but peek beyond them and you'll see an armada of HD 6900 chips just itching to bring the fight to NVIDIA and its newly crowned GTX 580 king of the single-GPU hill.

No specs yet, of course, but at least we now know there'll be some fireworks to greet us early in the new year. Oh, and if the mobile realm is more your thing, we've got a shot of AMD's plans on that front waiting for you just after the break.
