Rv620: Best Choice of Full HD Playback?

We already have a post about the Nvidia 65nm new 8400 GS. And today we will continue to talk about AMD’s5nm RV620.In the current market the main selling point of the low-end graphics cards is HD video playback, game performance is second. Of course, in HD playback, AMD gone more than the extreme, not only to achieve the first H.264 and VC-1 full hardware decoding (we believe that the current software still failed to full-use of this function), but also have built-in HDMI output signal.

Now AMD has no decided to go further in the low-end products, using the latest 55 nanometer product line RV620 core and built-in Display Port to meet the increasing market demand for HD playback. Early next year, AMD will introduce 7 RV620. All seven RV620’s memory bandwidth is 64 bit, support PCIe 2.0, DirectX 10.1, and of course the most critical integrated UVD and software crossfire. (Red star support hardware CF.)

We can see ,four RV620 are using DisplayPort, the Manchster and Porto even offered two DP, Enough to meet the general use of a HD playback users. We now just hope that in the official publication date AMD can deliver us a greatly improved driver that can enable the hareware decode fully.

In board design, AMD also gives full consideration to the high-definition market, there are three low profile design for small chassis.

While we already know that the RV620 samples will be completed on December 19, and the cards will officially released early next year , but it actually depend on 65nm new 8400GS’s pressure.If the performance of 8400 GS is not that good, AMD is likely to adjust its sale plan.

BTW, today we have some info about the new 8400GS: 8400GS may only have 8 GS SP.
