AMD-ATI R900 传闻

QUOTE:
AMD just launched Radeon HD 5870 and HD 5850. The cards have impressed us in many ways with top notch performance and impressive energy efficiency when idle. The Radeon HD 5700 series isn't far off now, and after it we have the entry level series and not the least Radeon HD 5870X2 sporting two Cypress/RV870 GPUs on same PCB. While we expect AMD to introduce a refresh this Spring, we have learned the next generation is slated for launch in Q3 2010.

Just like with the just launched Radeon HD 5800 series, the name has not been set at this point and the name right now is Radeon 100, which is subject to change though as the product materializes. Three ASICs are in the works that we know of. We're awaiting confirmation on the names, but they sound a bit Greek to us (think gargantuan).

We shared some stuff on the next generation Radeon series yesterday. The launch is slated for Q3 next year, but it largely depends on who gets the contract. TSMC and we might be looking at Q3 2010 launch, perhaps even on 28nm, while GlobalFoundries will need a bit more time, Q4 at best. The next generation is the first whole new architecture since the introduction of R600, which both R700 and R800 builds upon. Beta drivers have revealed a chip named R9xx, which points to that AMD has set the ASICs already, leaving tape-outs to occur in six months or so.

First the name Radeon 100 started circulating earlier this week, then we hear these Greek code-names we're not sure what to make of (still pending confirmation), and now we have three Islands in the same stream of information. We're thinking these are the names of the R9xx mobile counterparts; Cozumel, Ibiza and Kauai (party islands if you ask me). More information should appear soon, keep your eyes open.

2010年第四季度，GlobalFoundries

Beta驱动已经透露出R9XX

和R600，R700。R800彻底不同的构架，所以叫 Radeon 100
