Today ATI announced it’s newest product in the line up, the ATI Radeon™ HD 5570. ATI’s newest card is aimed squarely at the netbook market, the Windows netbook market that is. The HD 5570 is loaded with muscle but also bound to Direct X.
So if you’re in the market for a Windows netbook with HD video, lucky you.
“AMD recognizes that small form factor PCs are becoming more popular and low profile graphics upgrade options have been limited to date,” said Matt Skynner, vice president and general manager, AMD Graphics Division. “Customers purchasing small form factor PCs are looking for improved performance while gaming, watching HD video or working with the latest productivity applications. The ATI Radeon HD 5570 graphics card delivers all of this at a price that won’t break the bank.”
