AMD Radeon HD 6800 Specifications Leaked Early
Well at this point everyone has heard about the October 22nd release date for the Radeon HD 6800 series, with the rest of the 6xxx line coming in the near future with no specific dates, and external pictures of the Radeon HD 6870 & 6850 cards were released from NDA late last night to keep us on our toes. Well now we really have something to go on, because Chiphell.com posted up several of the slides of the 6800 cards listing specifications and even 3DMark Vantage results! VR-Zone Interpreted the post (to English) and posted up some of the slides so be sure to check it out there or go to our forums for all the slides!
The Radeon HD 6850 is Barts PRO. It features 12 SIMD engines – 960 SP and 48 TMU. It retains the full 32 ROPs and 256-bit memory, but is clocked at 775 MHz. Featuring a single PCIe power connector, the TDP is a reasonable 127W, and idle power is 19W. The HD 6850 is targeted at the GTX 460 768 MB and handily wipes the floor with it with an average improvement of over 30%. Of course, these are AMD’s internal testing, and the real world numbers could be different, especially in lower resolutions/IQ where the GTX 460’s 768 MB buffer is not a bottleneck. Still, these are huge deltas
