AMD has launched the Radeon HD 6990M – claiming that it is the world's fastest single mobile graphics processor.
With laptops increasingly becoming our daily computers the need for powerful graphics processors is increasingly obvious, and the AMD Radeon HD 6990M is apparently 25 per cent faster than its nearest rival.

"The AMD Radeon HD 6990M GPU, which not only packs AMD Eyefinity technology with unprecedented specs, also provides full Microsoft DirectX 11 and Stereo 3D support. Bottom line, this processor is epic and it's here - now."
