AMD's latest generation ATI Radeon HD 5000 Series is very good. It has something for everyone. Whether you're an avid gamer or a basic home user, you'll surely find an ATI HD Radeon 5000 series GPU that'll suit your need and wallet. Now if reports are to be believed then AMD is silently working on a new Radeon GPU, dubbed as the ATI Radeon HD 5670. The said video card is a low-end solution for home users, and is based on 40nm Redwood GPU.

It features 400 stream processors, GDDR5 memory with 128-bit interface, DVI, HDMI, and D-Sub connectors.

What's interesting about this card is that people at HardForum has already tested the card! The tests were done as a performance comparison between the Radeon HD 5670 and the Radeon HD 4670 512 MB.

The first test was running Street Fighter 4 at a resolution of 1600 x 1200, with no anti-aliasing, 16x anisotropic filtering. The card rendered the game with a frame-rate of 95.35 fps and scored 10,473 points, as opposed to the HD 4670, which only managed 8,559 points (a frame-rate of 65.35 fps).

The second game the card was tested on was Unigine Heaven Demo v1.0 DirectX 10 (SM 4.0) on a resolution of 1024 x 768 in window mode. The game ran at 34.1 fps while the CPU operated at 2.53 GHz. The HD 5670 again bested the HD 4670, which only scored 699 points with its 27.8 fps, with 859 points.

Expect this one in early part of 2010.
