AMD Unleashes the World’s Fastest Graphics Card
AMD announced the release of the AMD Radeon™ HD 7990, the world’s fastest graphics card, designed for gamers who want to take their PC gaming experience to the highest level. AMD Radeon HD 7990 is based on award-winning AMD Graphics Core Next (GCN) architecture with AMD Eyefinity technology (allows consumers to run up to five simultaneous displays off of a single graphics card), and delivers unrivalled performance and world-class technology for playing the latest DirectX® 11 games in extreme resolutions and multi-monitor configurations. The new graphic card consists from two specially-screened AMD Radeon™ HD 7900 Series GPUs, with a clock speed of up to 1GHz and 6GB of GDDR5 running at 6.0Gbps for 576GB/s of memory bandwidth. The massive performance is cooled down by three ultra-quiet fans and according to AMD the fans are quieter than by the Titan or the GTX 690. For better imagination, the new AMD Radeon™ HD 7900 contains a combined 8.2 billion 28nm transistors.



NVIDIA announced support for the Sony Computer Entertainment’s PlayStation®4 with the popular NVIDIA® PhysX® and NVIDIA® APEX® software development kits (SDKs).
Sony got a head-start in the next-generation race for hardware domination with its early reveal of the PlayStation 4. Sony has ditched the Cell architecture it utitlised in the PS4, instead opting for technology that its developers will be more familiar with. As such, the PS4 is more like a “supercharged” PC, running off an x86-based CPU – similar to that found in most desktop computers – and an “enhanced” GPU, both of which are designed by AMD. The console also hosts 8GB of memory, meaning plenty of space for extremely shiny graphics.
