Generally, AMD goes for a launch of new graphics products for desktop high end models and then it moves forward in developing them for laptops. But, this time, it is doing an entirely opposite thing by coming up with the launch of Radeon HD 7000 family for the mobile that comprises of entry-level and midrange 7400M-, 7500M-, and 760M- series. AMD is doing this because it is creating arrival time for real next-generation Radeons.

If you are expecting the new GPUs to be based on TSMC developed 28nm production process, you’d disappointed as this isn’t so. The chips are rather using the 40nm Turks and Caicos GPUs which are currently used by the 6000M series. However, a little tweaking will be done here and there for improving the performance. And the users will get increased shader count, slightly improved clock speeds compared to what 6000M has in its stock.

The actual models are yet to be revealed but AMD has come up with some specification for each of the series. The Radeon HD 7400M series offer processing of 40nm, DDR3/GDDR5 memory type, 64-bit memory bus width, 160 stream processors and an eyefinity support up to 4 monitors. It is targeted to the value segment. Radeon HD 7500M series also offer a 40nm processing, a 64-bit memory bus width, DDR3/GDDR5 memory type and an eyefinity support for up to 4 monitors. However, this series is targeted to mainstream segment and use 480 stream processors. Then comes the Radeon HD 7600M series targeted to performance-thin segment, offering 40nm process, DDR3/GDDR5 memory type, 128-bit memory bus width, use 480 stream processors and provide support for up to 6 monitors.

Apart from these specifications, AMD has also given a slight insight of the features of these three GPU series which include DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI 1.4a connectivity and support for DirectX11, AMD HD3D and Blu-ray 3D. HD 7500M series use 80 more stream processors compared to the HD 6000M series, but nothing further is known yet.

AMD will soon be launching the 28nm graphics as the reports suggest. Though the “Southern Islands” architecture of AMD was to be arriving by the end of the year, it got delayed to the early part of 2012 because of some issues with the production of 28nm.

Advanced Micro Devices (more popularly AMD) are soon to roll out company branded memory in US as they recently announced. Patriot Memory and VisionTek are two crucial launch partners of the brand.

It has been years now that Radeon graphics cards have been getting the memory supply and validation from AMD. And this is what has given them the confidence to get into the volatile system memory market as the company can see much opportunity in it.

AMD’s OverDrive performance optimization tool has been used by Radeon for testing and optimizing the DRAM in combination with their CPUs, APUs, GPUs and even the chipset platforms.  The acumen from their earlier associations gave them the enthusiasm for creating memory modules meant for other manufacturers other than their present associations.

AMD is going to introduce three different performance levels for selecting the memory. Buyers will be able to select all the modules in 2GB, 4GB and 8GB capacities. 1333MHz and 1600MHz speeds will be featured especially by the Entertainment level as it best suits the home theater PC applications.

The Performance category by AMD is going to support speed of about 1600MHz pairing well with the low latency. And finally, the topmost modules from Radeon are going to support 1866MHz speed and will be tested, tuned and certified to best suit the specific AMD platforms.

All the major retailers like Amazon.com, Fry’s, Bestbuy.ca, Micro Center, Newegg, Memory Express, Tiger Direct, NCIX, VIP computers (UK), and many others will be selling the AMD Memory once it gets introduced.

Not much has yet been told about the pricing of the module; however, it is believed that even if it makes any premium at all, it won’t be exceeding at what the existing kits are available, as it is notable that similar kits from AMD are already available in Japan which got rolled out sometimes in August though they were available under different performance categories.
