AMD Radeon HD 7000 Series 28nm GPUs confirmed

AMD Radeon HD 7000 Series 28nm GPUs confirmed radeon 7990 radeon 7970 radeon 7950 radeon 7870 radeon 7850 radeon 7790 radeon 7770 radeon 7670 radeon 7570 radeon 7000
Globadfoundaries have just released a slide presenting some information about upcoming AMD Radeon HD 7000 Series, which will be used in Trinity, condenamed Comal and Virgo. HD 7000 Series is designated for Southern Islands, AMD’S 28-nanometer next generation graphics processing units.

Fudzila: We believe that this settles the score, HD 7000 is the official designation for Southern Islands, AMD’s 28nm next generation graphics.
So the Radeon HD 7000 series moniker looks legitimate, and we do have a picture to back it up. It is now certain that AMD comes first with its 28nm chips, before NVIDIA’s Kepler that has reportedly been pushed back for early 2012. It was interesting that despite close partnership with Globalfoundries and the fact that they have 28nm, it still decided to manufacture its chip at TSMC, as TSMC has much more experience with highly complex graphics chips.

    @Mayank
    According to the slide presented in this article, we can expect new graphics from AMD in early 2012, which is going to be perfect time for customers, as NVIDIA plans to release their 600 Series in the same time.

    ohh,k.. which basically means i’m gonna have my hands on my bumps n w8 for another 4 months :( .. so, should i w8 for the time or buy one of the HD 6850/70 which have had a reduction in pricing 2 days back. As i read in your articles, d architectural details, my mobo won’t be using the PCi 3.0 anyways, besides any other major benefits you see jumping on to the new graphical architectural core and 28nm process? I’m on a Gigabyte UD7 x-58A mobo with intel i7 930.

    after all, a US$130 hd 6850 is a gr8 bang for buck, rt.

    also, it would be wonderful to compare the new & up-coming amd and nvidia graphic cards for desktops from your side. couldn’t find a worthy article on internet yet.

    As for comparision of released and upcoming graphics cards you can visit this page: http://videocardz.com/graphics-cards-comparison
    Which represents basic comparison of 3Dmark Vantage performance.
    Unfortunately, it doesn’t include perfomance comparison for graphics which will be released in 2012, because there isn’t any valid information yet.

    If you are planning to change graphics we suggest you do it now, before Christmas, when prices are always higher. Radeon HD 6850 is a good choice in this price tag.
