The Northern Islands series is a family of GPUs developed by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) forming part of its Radeon-brand, based on the 40 nm process. Some models are based on TeraScale 2 (VLIW5), some on the new TeraScale 3 (VLIW4) introduced with them. Starting with this family, the former ATI brand was officially discontinued in favor of making a correlation between the graphics products and the AMD branding for computing platforms (the CPUs and chipsets). Therefore, the AMD brand was used as the replacement. The logo for graphics products and technologies also received a minor makeover (using design elements of the 2010 "AMD Vision" logo). Its direct competitor was Nvidia's GeForce 500 Series; they were launched approximately a month apart. ==Architecture== This article is about all products under the Radeon HD 6000 Series brand. * A GPU implementing TeraScale 2 version "Northern Island (VLIW5)" is found on all models except the "HD 6350" and "HD 6900" branded products. * The "HD 6350" is based on TeraScale 2 "Evergreen". * A GPU implementing TeraScale 3 version "Northern Island (VLIW4)" is found on "HD 6900" branded products. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Radeon HD 6000 Series」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
