AMD today said it will introduce "hybrid graphics" in the first quarter of next year. Targeted at the entry-level and mainstream market, this concept will give customers multi-GPU graphics capability consisting of integrated graphics and discrete graphics: Rather than throwing out the capability of the integrated chipset when installing a stand-alone graphics card, AMD will be able to combine the feature sets with the introduction of the RS780 chipset.
The benefits of "hybrid graphics" will range from performance improvements, up to 50% with low-end graphics cards, according to senior vice president Rick Bergman, as well as power consumption enhancements (by allowing customers to use only the lower-power chipset). Minimum requirements to take advantage of hybrid graphics will be 3450/3470 graphics cards in the 3000-series as well as 2400 graphics cards in the 2000 series.
