Radeon HD 4550 Details Surface


Later this month, AMD is expected to launch the ATI Radeon HD 4550 graphics processor (GPU). Its board SKU details have surfaced. The RV710 graphics processor will make it to the grass-root of entry-level and high-definition media grpahics boards. It is based on the 55nm silicon fabrication process. The GPU has a transistor count of 242 million, it has 80 stream processors. It is engineered in a way that makes it draw less than 25W. In the form of reference designs, AMD will release two cards: a full height, passively cooled 512 MB DDR3 version, and a low-profile, 256MB fan-heatsink cooled card. Both models have core clock speeds of 600 MHz with the memory clocked at 800 MHz on a 64-bit wide memory bus. The GPU schematic shows it to have 8 texture address and 8 texture filter units. There's only one render back-end. The 512MB variant is expected to be priced at US $49~59, while the 256MB variant in the $39~49 range. These cards are expected to compete with the GeForce 9400 GT GPU.

aaaaaaaaawww, look at that cute cooler :D

for only around $40 they should be really nice graphics cards for htpcs.

1 render back end seem way too low

unless thats not what I'm thinking of (ROP's) because 3450 have 4 of those.

They probably mean 1 ROP partition, which contains 4 RBE units.

I might be wrong though.

Now almost all AMD cards come with 512mb ram :up:

perfect for 1080p ready HTPCs.

too bad IGP only has 128mbs then. can't wait to see an 4000 IGP and it can do.

What AMD has against 9500GT? The slower and older HD3650, that at any rate should be faster than the 4550? Also nothing against 9600GT, as it is quite a bite faster than HD4670 and much slower than HD4850. In any given price point, aparently you have no choice between AMD and Nvidia in the lower end...

Radeon 4650 should go against 9500 GT. RV770LE should go against 9600 GT or higher.

Perhaps 1 CLUSTER of ROPs, contain 4 of them, with 64 bit MC.

render backend == cluster of rops = 4 rops with one backend
