Just got the news, AMD will release the new generation of dual-core flagship graphics card at the end of this year, replacing the existing top-end Radeon HD 5970.
Before we have basically confirmed that the next generation of AMD graphics cards "Southern Islands" will be released from October, one after another in November. The Southern Islands still use the strategy of optimizing the small core, first attack the performance level, and then will launch a dual-core version.
The Radeon HD 5970 has a lifespan of up to ten months and is still firmly in the throne of cards, which is quite rare in the highly competitive graphics card market. The NVIDIA GF10x series still hasn't entered the mainstream and low-end areas. Legend has it that the two-core models with two GF104 cores are still missing. Now it looks like AMD doesn't plan to give any breathing room for the opponent. The Radeon HD 5970 may be lonely. Finished his life.
Due to the cancellation of the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's 32nm process and the GlobalFoundries 28nm process, the Southern Islands series of video cards will still be manufactured using 40nm process technology, and will not change much in terms of architecture, which is an enhanced version of the current Evergreen architecture. It is reported that the Southern Islands Core will support the new HDMI interface and the new "UVD-Eyefinity" technology. It looks like it supports full-hardware decoding of ultra-high resolution video playback on multi-screen systems. This will make multi-screen systems more functional. Rich, at the same time, costs will be reduced.
The next key is to see how NVIDIA will fight back.
