AMD presents the ATI Radeon™ HD 4600 Series

AMD announced today the mainstream graphics ATI RadeonTM HD 4600, cards set to deliver exceptional gaming and HD multimedia performance with less power consumption than a standard light bulb.
They offer full support for the latest DirectX® 10.1 games, superior HD multimedia capabilities and industry leading performance-per-watt3, all delivered at affordable prices for the mainstream graphics segment.

The core is powered by a 55nm 320-TeraScale GPU, which is a modified version of the RV770 chip also found in the Radeon HD 4800 series ( a lower spec chip, but with essentially the exact same feature set). The $80 HD 4670 has 512MB of GDDR3 RAM, while the $60 HD 4650 uses 512MB of GDDR2 memory.
“Mainstream graphics cards – those priced under $100 – represent more than two-thirds of all desktop graphics sold today4. Providing competitive solutions in this segment is a mandatory requirement to have a strong position in the graphics market” ( Dean McCarron, founder and principal, Mercury Research)

“The ATI Radeon HD 4670 proved to be an excellent performer, especially considering its low-power operation and affordable price. AMD’s new ATI Radeon HD 4670 handily outperformed the ATI Radeon HD 3650 and GeForce 9500 GT across a broad range of benchmarks and just missed hitting the mark set by more expensive offerings. The ATI Radeon HD 4670 performed very well in our benchmark testing, which included a number of popular 3D applications and SD and HD video playback tests”(Marco Chiappetta, HotHardware.com.).

“You don’t have to be a professional gamer to appreciate the incredible performance delivered by the ATI Radeon HD 4600 series for under $100.”(Orlando Garcia, president and CEO, Frag Dominant).
