AMD ha lanciato oggi la GPU per notebook denominata Radeon HD 8970M, una nuova soluzione nell'ambito dei prodotti basati sull'architettura Graphics Core Next (GCN) che il maker statunitense definisce come la sezione grafica per notebook più veloce al mondo in base a test interni con cui sono state misurate come riferimento le performance della GeForce GTX 680M di NVIDIA.
