While NVIDIA is waiting to the Fermi architecture to go into mass production AMD is already up to a high tempo on the same market. Days from now it launch the first budget cards of the Radeon HD 5600 series, but by the end of the month, on January 25th, it will unveil a new addition to the Radeon HD 5800 series. AMD follows the scheme from the Radeon HD 4000 family and the card will be called Radeon HD 5830.

Exact specifications, as in the number of shader processors or clock frequencies, are still unclear. Our sources suggests that Radeon HD 5830 will use GDDR5 memory and offer performance on the line of AMD's Radeon HD 4890 card, but at a lower price.

We're guessing the design will be the same as the more powerful siblings, but even if the price hasn't been set it would be nice with a card from the Radeon HD 5800 series that costs less that $200. In a few weeks we will know more.

pretty safe to guess that its going to be a 5770+256 bit memory :bleh: ....but i am noob when it comes to the design... would you need a redesign (the chip itself) if you need a wider memory bus ?? please don't make fun of me...
 
^ no prolly a HD5850 with some shaders disabled..:bleh:

It will fill the gap between HD5770(10k) and HD5850 (17k)..:)
 
I am satisfied with my HD4870 512mb thanks :) .. Won't be upgrading any time soon .. I spent 17k on it for god's sake!! .. Just one year ago!

hahhaha...GPUs get outdated very fast. HD 4870 is a nice card, it will be enough for another year or two
I am waitng for HD 5670....it will be the most anticipated card after HD 5770& 5850
 
Same here

got 4870 512 for 9k 7 months ago and happy to see even a new 10.5k card like 5770 has a tough job beating it.

i think, can give HD 5xxx a skip. letz wait for HD 6xxx.

Where are you quoting those prices from.It isn't that large,is it?
I thought pricing the 5830 would be the biggest problem but this seems roomy enough.

We all get burned once in a while mate :clap:
I'm stuck with a 1st Gen Sapphire 4850 512Mb and I even had to shell out for after market cooling.
the damn thing OCs like hell though but its another thing that I only had to for Crysis and Warhead.
The DX11 support doesn't interest me much,its the fact that the 5830 will take slightly less power than the 4850 yet perform better than a 4890 that's giving me itchy fingers but nothing doing until Crysis 2 comes along,the 4850 will do just fine for Bioshock2 :hap2:
 
Damn..! They are projecting it same as HD4890. I paid a bomb for them..! Will probably be a neutered HD5850.

The source site says amd is bringing 6xxx cards by march so whats the use by buying these cards when even newer ones are round the corner.;)

wt*? where does it say that bro ?? How can the 5xxx series have such a small life ? 6 months odd...

Where ? Where ? Where ?

Wow , you are even more optimistic than me

The only difference is your imagination runs wild with fantasies

ATI’s next generation is 28nm

ATI will skip 32nm

It looks like ATI’s next generation graphics that could hopefully appear in late 2010 will be developed in the 28nm process.

This might be the first chip developed for both TSMC and Globalfoundries. Globalfoundries hopes to have its 28nm bulk process ready in late 2010, probably in Q4, and ATI will probably be one of the first customers.

If ATI plays it safe it will develop the chip for both TSMC and Globalfoundries and will benchmark which of the two gets the job done better. AMD is yet to announce that it will officially do its GPUs in Dresden bulk part of factory, but this is something that won’t surprise many people.

Just remember that TSMC’s yields with 40nm are not great and considering that this silicon is in the majority of ATi and Nvidia chips, especially new designs, an alternative for the next generation becomes more likely.

ATI next generation is codenamed Hecatoncheires

2010 new architecture

AMD is internally talking about its next generation stuff, something that looks to be the next, 2010 generation of DirectX 11 hardware.

The codename is Hecatoncheires, named after gigantic fifty headed creatures of great strength in Greek mythology which despite being weaker than Titans, managed to beat them. A simple analogy would put Nvidia in the role of Titans, and since Hecatoncheires had more heads, this would suggest a larger chip with more shaders.

In ancient Greek, Hecatoncheires means "hundred armed" and from what we hear this is a brand new architecture and not just improved version of R770, something that RV870 is.

There will be six other Greek names to take a place of three desktop and three mobile chips and they should be ready in late 2010.

AMD's Hecatoncheires GPU family codenames revealed

MIMD shaders

AMD's upcoming Hecatoncheires graphics architecture, the one that will eventually become Evergreen's successor, introduces three new subcategory codenames under its family name. Due to the original nature of AMD's latest marketing decisions, we are again talking about Greek codenames, so the pronunciation may be difficult for some. If you're up to the task, the family consists of Briareos, Gyes and Kottos.

On another note, three more Greek codenames are reserved for the mobile GPU department. In regards to architectural changes, the only information we were able to discover is that these new chips should introduce MIMD shaders.

For those requiring more academic background about these names in regards to Greek mythology, it can be noted that the three new desktop GPU codenames were the names of Hecatoncheires (see here). “Their names were Briareus Βριάρεως the Vigorous, also called Aigaion Αιγαίων (Latinized as Aegaeon) the "sea goat", CottusGyges Γύγης (or Gyes) the Big-Limbed.†Κόττος the Striker or the Furious.

If all goes according to schedule AMD ATI 6xxx series will show up in q4 2010 ( Add or Remove 1 quarter )
