The Radeon HD 5900 series utilizes two Cypress graphics processors and a third-party PCI-E bridge. Similar to Radeon HD 4800 X2 series graphics cards; however, AMD has abandoned the use of X2 moniker for dual-GPU variants starting with Radeon HD 5900 series, making it the only series within the Evergreen GPU family to have two GPUs on one PCB.
AMD Software (formerly known as Radeon Software) is a device driver and utility software package for AMD's Radeon graphics cards and APUs. Its graphical user interface is built with Qt [ 6 ] and is compatible with 64-bit Windows and Linux distributions .
The Radeon HD 7000 series, codenamed "Southern Islands", is a family of GPUs developed by AMD, [9] and manufactured on TSMC's 28 nm process. [10]The primary competitor of Southern Islands was Nvidia's GeForce 600 series (also manufactured at TSMC), which shipped during Q1 2012, largely due to the immaturity of the 28 nm process.

In the future, libGL-fglrx-glx could use the libDRM of the Radeon open-source driver instead of the proprietary binary blob; most of the investment is in the userspace driver. When applications such as a 3D game engine or a 3D computer graphics software shunt calculations from the CPU to the GPU, they usually use a special-purpose API like ...
