@ 2010/10/15Advanced Micro Devices' graphics business unit, previously known as ATI, announced on Thursday that it had shipped 25 million of graphics processing units (GPUs) that support DirectX 11 application programming interface (API). Unfortunately, even advanced product line did not help the company to keep its sales in-line with the previous quarter.
Approximately a year after the introduction of the ATI Radeon HD 5800-series graphics cards, the first to support DirectX 11 API in the industry, AMD said that it had sold 25 million of graphics cards in different price ranges supporting the DX11 technology. Shipments of the Radeon HD 5000 family of GPUs have been limited by undersupplies of TSMC, who has had major issues with its 40nm process technologies. Without constraints of contract maker of semiconductors, shipments of the DirectX 11-supporting products would have been higher.
