Advanced Micro Devices announced the upcoming availability of what it says is the world’s fastest graphics card, the ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2. The card is part of AMD’s ATI Radeon 4800 X2 series. It’s the most powerful graphics technology to come out of AMD, delivering a 2.4 teraFLOPS of processing power — that’s 2.4 trillion floating point operations per second. AMD was able to achieve that amount of computation power not by developing a new, more powerful chip, but by combining two ATI Radeon 4800 series graphics processing units.
