AMD lists Radeon HD 6450/6570/6670 for OEM
vr-zone.com - 


Following AMD's quiet release of the re-branded HD 6700 for OEM, AMD has once again slipped in listings for new HD 6000 family OEM cards, this time based on new chips. First up is the Radeon HD 6670, a direct successor to the HD 5670. Based on the Turks chip, the HD 6670 is a derivative of the Barts architecture. Thanks to minor bumps in SIMD units and clock speeds, the HD 6670 brings about a 24% bump in theoretical shader power, to 768 GFlops, as well as texture fillrate. The memory bandwidth remains identical, while pixel fillrate is boosted by the small clock speed increase. Like the HD 5670, the HD 6670 does not require any PCI-e power connectors, drawing all power from the PCI-e slot. It will be the fastest graphics card not requiring additional power connectors.

The Marvell based Pogo Plug was an interesting entry into the low power computing world, but it wasn't what we would call a feature-rich solution and most of it partners didn't do much with the platform. Now a company called Globalscale Technologies has taken things to the next level with the Dream Plug, an admittedly more expensive solution, but also one with a lot of added functionality.
