Designed for the premium and mid-range markets respectively, both units are fully DirectX 11 compatible, with Shader Model 5.0, DirectCompute 11, and HDR texture compression support as standard along with a programmable hardware tessellation unit. OpenGL 4.1 and OpenCL 1.1 support is also included.

The Radeon HD 6500M is the premium offering, aimed at gaming laptops and other high-performance systems. Featuring 400 stream processors, 20 texture units, 32 Z/stencil ROP units and eight colour ROP units, the engine is clocked at 500MHz to 650MHz while the GDDR5 or DDR3 memory is clocked at 900MHz. Overall, ATI claims up to 520 gigaFLOPS of compute performance in single-precision mode, or around 650 million polygons per second.
