AMD released Radeon HD 7000M series graphics chips.

AMD today announced the launch of Radeon HD 7000M series graphics chips. Radeon HD 7000M series graphics chips released in the first batch adopt TSMC 40nm manufacturing process and VLIW5 TeraScale2 architecture.

Although it was previously rumored that AMD would release a 28nm 7000M graphics chip. However, AMD launched today is indeed a product with the same architecture as AMD’s 40 nm 6000 m graphics chip.

AMD’s Radeon HD 7000M series graphics chips launched today include 7400M, 7500M and 7600M series, and AMD seems to leave the 7700M, 7800M and 7900M series to the real 28nm GCN South Island architecture.

7400M, 7500M and 7600M are all produced by TSMC’s 40nm process. The number of stream processors is 160, 480 and 480, respectively. The memory types are DDR3/GDDR5, and the memory bit widths are 64-bit, 64-bit and 128-bit, respectively. With wide-domain technology, 7400M and 7500M can support up to four display devices. 7400M, 7500M and 7600M are aimed at the low-end market of value, mainstream and performance respectively.

The 7400M, 7500M and 7600M all support the interface standards of DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI 1.4a, and support AMD HD3D and Blu-ray 3D.

Compared with the 6000M products, the 7400M, 7500M and 7600M released today have built-in UVD3 third-generation unified video decoder, which can accelerate the decoding of DivX and XviD videos by hardware.

Ogi Brkic, product manager of AMD, said that the Radeon HD 7000M series adopts a more compact and smaller package, so it can be packed into a thinner laptop.
