The drivers give no hints as to what the future products might actually be, but the folks at NordicHardware <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nordichardware.com\/news,10043.html\" onclick=\"_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'outbound-article', 'http:\/\/www.nordichardware.com\/news,10043.html', 'claim to have an answer']);\" >claim to have an answer<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Quoting no sources in particular, NordicHardware says it has confirmation that the Radeon HD 5970 is a Hemlock part. Hemlock, as you&#8217;ll know if you read our <a href=\"\/articles.x\/17618\">review of the Radeon HD 5870<\/a>, refers to AMD&#8217;s upcoming dual-GPU graphics card. That product will wield two Cypress graphics chips and no doubt fearsome pixel-crunching power.<\/p>\n<p>If this report is accurate, AMD will stray somewhat from branding tradition&mdash;its previous high-end dual-GPU cards were the Radeon HD 4870 X2 and Radeon HD 3870 X2. Since the driver includes two &quot;Radeon HD 5900&quot; strings, the company may also have a second DirectX 11 dual-GPU offering in the works. NordicHardware says that product could be a Radeon HD 5950, a name that suggests fewer stream processors and texture units, kind of like the current <a href=\"\/articles.x\/17652\">Radeon HD 5850<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Time will definitely tell. AMD plans to introduce Hemlock-based cards before the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.techreport.com\/discussions.x\/17770\" onclick=\"_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'outbound-article', 'http:\/\/www.techreport.com\/discussions.x\/17770', 'The Tech Report']);\" >The Tech Report<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we noted yesterday, AMD&#8217;s latest OpenCL drivers include explicit support for two unannounced, unreleased Radeon HD 5900-series graphics cards&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":197,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[72,73,2453,2452,238],"class_list":["post-12143","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-amd","tag-ati","tag-hd-5970","tag-hemlock","tag-radeon"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12143","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/197"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12143"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12143\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12143"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12143"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alienbabeltech.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12143"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
