Radeon

AMD Radeon, formerly ATI Radeon, is a brand of graphics processing units (GPU) that since 2000 has been manufactured by ATI Technologies and subsequently AMD and is the successor to their Rage line. There are four different groups, which can be differentiated by the DirectX generation they support. More specific distinctions can also be followed, such as the Hyper Z version, the number of pixel pipelines, and of course, the memory and processor clock speeds. The brand was previously known as "ATI Radeon" until August 2010, when it was renamed to create a more unified brand image.[1] Products up to and including the HD 5000 series are branded as ATI Radeon, while the HD 6000 series and beyond use the new branding AMD Radeon branding.
