Mass production of AMD Radeon HD 7000 GPU

With the existence of three low-end GPU card from the fleet flagship Radeon HD 6000 Series was released to the market that is ready in the near future, AMD seems to change most of its attention to the Southern Islands GPU 28nm technology that will come. Then coupled with the claim that the report has recently appeared related to the planned mass production of its most rapidly in May and expected release date in June or July.


The report itself is derived from the publication DigiTimes quotes a source "from graphics card makers", which unfortunately does not reveal other details about the existence of such chips.

There is even a news show that Southern Islands made by AMD GPU is based on the same architecture as used in the current Cayman cores (or rather can be found in the architecture of the Radeon HD 6900 GPU card).

This will be tweaked to 28nm manufacturing process and production of smaller nodes. That way, the course will allow AMD to install the unit into its streaming GPU Radeon HD 7000 series will be.

So far, there is only speculation about the performance of AMD's latest graphics core. However, with advances in fabrication technology may even be a single-GPU HD 7000 will be more sophisticated and far more superior than the Radeon HD 6990 available today.

Production of the first part of the Southern Islands will be built by TSMC. And if all goes well with its 28nm fabrication technology, then for the next production of some parts will soon be moved production to GlobalFoundries.Range Radeon HD 7000 graphics cards will include both desktop and notebooks. As for the mobile version of the GPU itself is likely to soon bring four different models later.

Earlier there were leaks associated with the launch of the Radeon 7000 GPU first in the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2011. However, news gathering has now become biased due to the emergence of new news regarding the Southern Islands desktop GPU that will soon be released in the third quarter (Q3) this year since AMD introduced the first version of the desktop GPU recently.
