HIS Announces Radeon HD 7730 iSilence 5
HIS announced the Radeon HD 7730 iSilence 5 graphics card. Identical in design to the Radeon HD 7750 iSilence 5 the company launched this May, the card uses a pin-compatible Radeon HD 7730, and 2 GB of DDR3 memory, across a 128-bit wide memory interface. It offers reference core clock speeds of 800 MHz, with its memory running at 1.60 GHz. Based on the 28 nm "Cape Verde" silicon, it features 384 Graphics CoreNext stream processors, 24 TMUs, and 8 ROPs. The card features a chunky aluminium fin stack heatsink, to which heat is fed by four nickel-plated copper heat pipes. HIS didn't announce pricing.

But you are right, the low end GPUs are becoming a bit unnecessary as AMD's APUs are already at an acceptable performance level and Intel is not far behind, though the Iris Pro is actually a bit faster and nearing the performance of the GT 640.
But, why use blue color on green pcb? This is the only foul I see here. Do the pcb blue and it will be a very nice looking card. Do it black and add a red cooler or this blue cooler. Much better.
Even though integrated graphics are getting better, there's still the kinds of people out there that have their old Pentium 4 machine that they keep tossing new video cards in to try to keep their system useable.
