After too long a hiatus, we're back with a new GPU and architecture analysis! ATI's 40nm marvel, RV740, is under Alex's microscope in Radeon HD 4770 form. Bringing almost everything that made RV770 (and now RV870) great to the lower end of the market, does RV740 ultimately impress?
On January 28th, graphics enthusiast, NVIDIA multi-GPU maestro and friend, Chris Arthington -- best known as ChrisRay to graphics and PC hardware enthusiasts worldwide on many discussion forums -- passed away after battling pneumonia. He was 27 years old.
Late last year I wrote a speculative piece on NVIDIA Fermi and GF100 for The Tech Report, outlining a best guess at the graphics capabilities based on research, NVIDIA's historical progression in graphics and good old journalism, probing the company's engineers where possible.
Should I file this story under Consumer Graphics or Processor.....Consumer Graphics I think, since it's the addition of an IGP die to the CPU package that makes the numerous new dual-core Core i3 and Core i5 models special.
AMD has had OpenCL support for their CPUs available in their Stream SDK for a little while now, with the missing link being support on the GPU. Today's release of a beta version of the 2.0 Stream SDK fixes that, with compliant OpenCL 1.0 support for everything from the HD…
At their Graphics Technology Conference earlier this evening, NVIDIA announced their next-generation graphics architecture, codenamed Fermi. Graphics seems like it's not the primary focus of the first implementation of Fermi, though.

Tech Report recently had the opportunity to interview Neil Trevett, Khronos Group President and VP of Embedded Content at NVIDIA, where they talked about OpenCL, DX Compute Shader and more.
ATI's launch of Radeon HD 4890 was countered with NVIDIA hurredly launching a new SKU at $250 to compete.
NVIDIA introduced a number of new Quadro products today, along with SLI Multi-OS which, amazingly enough, allows for full 3D acceleration in guest OSes for virtualization. A beta version of their CUDA raytracing solution has also shipped to their partners in early March.
VIA have announced the VX855, a single chip system processor designed to be paired with one of the company's x86 CPUs in small form factors. Notably, VIA claim the integrated Chrome 9 HCM graphics core is capable of high bitrate 1080p video acceleration, including H.264.
A few days before the 10.1 moniker wouldn't have fit any longer, ATI have released their Catalyst 10.1 display driver suite for Windows and Linux.
ATI's march across the plains of consumer graphics carries on unabated today with the release of Radeon HD 5670, the start of a sub-$100 lineup of DX11-class products powered by one of two new GPUs. HD 5670 contains the first, Redwood (RV830), a 104 square millimetre part manufactured by TSMC.
Today, a bit later than originally planned, ATI's dual GPU , Cypress based, enthusiast oriented card came out, claiming the much coveted performance crown and rounding up their line-up for the holiday season
Ah, the winds of change are once again upon us. A new DirectX iteration is about to enter the fray with Windows 7, and new, fully compliant hardware is there to bring its glory to screens everywhere. One such piece of hardware is ATI's new Cypress GPU.
NVIDIA have released certified OpenCL drivers for Windows and Linux, after passing conformance tests at Khronos in June. Apple's choke hold is serious business, it seems.
ATI launched its Radeon HD 5870 this morning, marking the generational debut of DX11-class silicon via a brand new GPU, codenamed Cypress or RV870 depending on whether you like letters or numbers.
NVIDIA recently posted a quarterly loss of $105.3M against a rising revenue figure and middling gross margins. The company attributes the loss to charges taken over the packaging issues with some of its GPUs.
ATI have unveiled a new high-end Radeon aimed at the performance crowd, powered by an improved GPU and available at a seriously keen price.
Advanced discussions of computer architecture are often still constrained to generic processors and serial computations. And yet, there is so much more. This article hopes to serve as a primer to help explore both classic and exotic architectures in the coming months, right here on Beyond3D.
Mazatech have released the next major build of their OpenVG libraries, adding support for OpenVG 1.1 in the process as they consolidate the codebase. Software and OpenGL-based versions are available for a wide range of regular and embedded platforms, making it highly portable.
