Customers need to achieve ever higher performance-per-watt and performance-per-dollar in order to address these problems with the same infrastructures. “The demands of the high-performance datacenter are intense, with dramatic increases in problem complexity and size every year. Today’s announcements also advance the company’s corporate brand and strategy, called Fusion, by further enabling AMD graphics processors (GPUs) to work in concert with CPUs to deliver balanced platforms capable of increasing performance, energy-efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. The AMD FireStream 9270 features 800 stream cores, 2GB GDDR5 memory, 108.8GB/s memory bandwidth, 256-bit memory interface, 1.2 teraFLOPS single and 240 gigaFLOPS double computing power, typical power consumption of 160W and peak power consumption of under 220W. Regarding pricing and availability, the new FireStream 9270 compute accelerator and the ATI Stream SDK v 1.3 are set to become available in late Q4 2008, with the FireStream 9270 to be featured at an MSRP of US$1,499.AMD today announced the FireStream 9270 workstation graphics card, this card seems to be based on the Radeon HD 4870 and will be available in late Q4 2008 for $1,499. This solution is expected to become available alongside ATI's Catalyst v8.12 software driver, which should debut next month. In addition to the new FireStream 9270 graphics solution, AMD also announced version 1.3 of its Stream SDK, which is said to include extensive enhancements to provide an easier development of ATI Stream-enabled applications. Additional features include the card's 2GB of GDDR5 memory. According to the Sunnyvale, California-based company, this is the best a single-core graphics card can currently deliver. The new FireStream 9270 graphics solution has been built to deliver a supercomputing-class performance, providing over 1.2 teraFLOPS of single-point precision performance, while still keeping the power consumption specifications to a typical board requirement of only 160W.

"The demands of the high-performance datacenter are intense, with dramatic increases in problem complexity and size every year. With the FireStream 9270, users will be able to enjoy more performance by enabling ATI's Radeon graphics processors to work with the system's CPUs. These two solutions have been designed to meet the requirements of researchers, technical professionals and IT organizations. The just launched FireStream 9270 comes with the company's latest ATI Stream Software Development Kit (SDK), version 1.3. ![]() Aside from unveiling its latest Opteron processors, designed on a 45nm manufacturing process, AMD has also introduced today a new graphics card, part of its FireStream family of high-end graphics products. ![]()
