 AMD has released the ATI Radeon HD 3400 and ATI Radeon HD 3600 series, to boost the graphics power of consumer PCs without breaking the bank.
"Built on 55nm process technology and boasting DX 10.1, DisplayPort and PCI Express 2.0 support, the new processors have already enjoyed broad customer adoption and are available for under $100," an AMD mouthpiece told Absolute Gadget. The ATI Radeon HD 3400 series ranges from $49-$65 suggested pricing, while the ATI Radeon HD 3600 series are shifting for $79-$99. “As part of the first family of graphics cards built using 55nm process technology, both series provide exceptional performance-per-watt for a quiet and power-efficient experience at unbelievable price points,” an AMD statement said, quite quietly. “Blu-ray or HD DVD disc playback can be enjoyed in full HD glory (1080p) thanks to AMD’s proprietary unified video decoder technology found on the ATI Radeon HD 3400 and ATI Radeon HD 3600 series, ensuring movies play back smoothly and with incredible detail.” There’s also built-in support for six channel Dolby Digital 5.1 surround audio transmission through HDMI.
