December may bring the First 28nm GPU from AMD!
It’s looking like AMD is planning to launch a new line of GPUs on December 6th 2011. At least according to sources within the industry. There isn’t any specific details on the architecture at this time, but it is believed to potentially be the new Southern Island GPU family. The Southern Island GPU family is expected to pick up the Radeon HD 7000 series monikers. The whispers in the shadows say that the Radeon HD 7000 series GPUs will veer away from traditional GDDR5, and take advantage of Rambus’ XDR2 DRAM.
TSMC reportedly increased its pricing for 28nm products as it noticed substantially higher demand than the company initially expected. Xbit labs speculated that TSMC’s capacity for 28nm wafer production is only 7000 to 10,000 units during the current fourth quarter.
