AMD Radeon R7 370 Graphics Card Pictured - Features Pitcairn Core, Compact PCB Design and 6-Pin Connector

The beginning pic of AMD'southward upcoming Radeon R7 370 graphics card has been leaked Chiphell Forums. The picture of the Radeon R7 370 is interesting and confirms a few things about this specific bill of fare which will enter the main stream market at a toll range of $149 United states of america or even lower because its based on a chip which has been in the marketplace since the last three years and expected to make a render for one last fourth dimension.

AMD Radeon R7 370 Graphics Carte Pictured - ii GB Memory and Compact PCB Pattern

The Radeon R7 370 is based on the Pitcairn core architecture which was renamed to Curacao during the launch of Radeon 200 series. It tin can be expected that AMD won't rename the chip again merely the card is using the aforementioned nomenclature as its predecessor, the Radeon R9 270 serial. The merely thing that has changed is that AMD has decided to place information technology in the Radeon R7 series instead of the Radeon R9 series due to the large operation gap and the sub-$149 US pricing this carte will feature. Everything in a higher place this card will be included in the Radeon R9 serial that include the R9 380 serial (Tonga) and R9 390 serial (Hawaii).

So why exercise we believe that AMD is using Pitcairn core inside the hood of this carte? It's simple, there'southward a unmarried Crossfire connector on the board instead of the contempo XDMA technology which eliminates the need of gold fingers and channels data from cards through the PCI-Express bus. All of GCN 1.0 family apply a CrossFire port while the Bonaire core is the only one to use such connector but information technology's difficult to see a Bonaire chip in such a high branding as the 370 when it was previously using the 260 series naming scheme. Since AMD hasn't designed any new GCN ane.0 or 1.1 chip since Hawaii, it can be concluded that this is actually the Pitcairn based rebrand.

From the looks of the card, it tin can exist seen that it uses a unmarried Crossfire connector which allows 2-Way Multi-GPU functionality, a half dozen-Pin connector which leads to 150W typical lath power (75W 6-Pin and 75W PCI-E). The rest of the PCB is quite compact and the display outputs include Dual-DVI, HDMI and a single display port. The carte features a similar design scheme as the high-stop Fiji parts and the same shroud surface texture can be seen on the carte du jour besides. The ii Radeon logos can also exist spotted however information technology is not known whether they too lit up in carmine when the card is operational. There'southward a unmarried blower blazon fan which sucks air inside the menu and pushes hot air out of the exhaust vent at the back of R7 370 card.

The 6-Pin connector reveals that this carte du jour might be based on the Pitcairn XT revision featured on the R9 270 or the Pitcairn Pro revision featured on the R7 265 since the R7 270X demands two six-Pin connectors and AMD just couldn't magically cut down power consumption on the full core other than toning downwardly the clock speeds every bit they did with the R9 270. The specifications may include 1024 stream processors, 64 TMUs, 32 ROPs which is the aforementioned as the Pitcairn XT just clock speeds could exist toned down effectually 975 MHz range (Base/Heave). The 2 GB GDDR5 memory will operate forth a 256-bit retention bus at 5.6 GHz clock speed, pumping out 179 GB/s bandwidth. It is highly likely that the Pitcairn XT will launch as the Radeon R7 370X graphics card later. In terms of performance, the card is aimed at the GeForce GTX 750 Ti (GM107 Maxwell) so it will be priced in the budget range and deliver twenty% better performance as AMD's own slide claims. There's more to be revealed over the side by side couple of days so stay tuned.
