AMD Launches Radeon HD 6450 at $ 55

While AMD's OEM partners could benefit from the month of February, the Radeon HD 6450 finally arrives on the retail market. Aimed at the entry level market, this graphics card based on a chipset Caicos etched into 40 nm should be enjoyed by HTPC enthusiasts, especially with its recommended retail price of $ 55.

Low-profile format, the Radeon HD 6450 features a GPU clocked at 750 MHz and boasts 160 stream processors and 8 texture units. It also has 512 MB of GDDR5 memory running at 900 MHz on a 64-bit bus. Of VGA, DVI and HDMI 1.4 are also available. Version "core" of the Radeon HD 6450 has a TDP of 27 watts and has a cooling system "active", although relatively compact.

Versions seem entirely passive also planned, with a GPU whose frequency is lowered (625 MHz only), and the use of GDDR5 memory at 800-900 MHz. A model equipped with 1 GB of DDR3 memory 533-800 MHz should finally come to complete the range.
