[Rumour] ATI S. Islands / HD 6000 a minor improvement
VR-Zone - July 19, 2010 7:00 PM
vr-zone.com - Fudzilla reports that ATI’s upcoming next generation products, codenamed Southern Islands, are set to be a minor improvement over the current HD 5000 generation. The S. Islands cores will be just a tweak on the HD 5000 cores. However, Fudzilla do not make any mention of the uncore elements. The cores or shaders of S. Islands has been rumoured to be similar to Evergreen for a long time, but those rumours also suggest uncore elements (such as ROP) based on N. Islands. N. Islands was originally meant to be the late 2010 generation, but has been delayed due to the cancellation of TSMC’s 32nm process, and major delays to 28nm. Thus, S. Islands is merely a transition between Evergreen and N. Islands. N. Islands is now set to release in 2011 at 28nm.More next page...
