Upcoming Radeon HD 6000 Series Is All-New Architecture

http://vr-zone.com/forums/837763/up...chitecture.html
AMD originally wanted a brand-new architecture (the first since Radeon HD 2000 series) on TSMC's 32-nm node, and it was codenamed "Northern Islands." Then they hit a snag: TSMC cancelled their 32-nm, instead deciding to go straight to 28-nm in 2011. At this point, a new family codename called "Souther Islands" came about; apparently it was still 40-nm, and would be a more efficient version of "Evergreen" (Radeon HD 5000 series).

This is not true. The upcoming Radeon HD 6000 series IS "Northern Islands" and IS a brand-new architecture. After the 32-nm process was cancelled, AMD moved "Northern Islands" back to the 40-nm node (obviously it probably lost a few shader/texture/pixel units to what AMD had planned for 32-nm), and also started work on "Southern Islands." The "Southern Islands" family will be a 28-nm die-shrink of "Northern Islands" and will most likely be manufactured at Globalfoundries (though it could still be TSMC, or even both).

本來北方羣島是32nm 制程全新設計GPU.但TSMC 把32nm 取消.AMD 只好以40nm 的北方羣島推出.

28nm時,AMD 會推出南方羣島.

南方群島都已經問世, 各AIB P/P都打好開始驗證囉~ :jolin:

Northern Islands才是28nm製程.

小弟我只是個本土呆灣郎不是abc,文章太深奧了,小弟看不懂.....

所以..這消息是說根本沒有evergreen（HD5） 40nm改良版這東西的存在
HD6就會是全新架構的GPU，一開始使用40nm的產品codename是北方群島
而後推出28nm的codename是南方群島
所以就看同樣40nm下新架構的die size，耗電跟效能跟舊架構有什麼差別囉
不知道消息正確性如何？
