Radeon HD 7000 Revealed: AMD to Mix GCN with VLIW4 & VLIW5 Architectures

[Pantsu]

Who releases these things anyway, and why the they feel the need to blank out parts? I call this useless bs.

[iddqd]

still just "december 2011..." :sigh:

[w0mbat]

well, if we look at the driver, pitcairn & tahiti are supposed to be the same architecture. just as a hint.

[SKYMTL]

People need to be VERY careful about what they leak this time around.

With Cayman, some alternate info with small differences / spelling errors was given to certain briefing groups which was used to weed out some leaks. I wouldn't be surprised to see the same thing happening again.

Not allowed to post links to that.

I can confirm that it is real too

In essence this is now double confirmed !?


lol

Man that blog used to be cool. Now it's all white. it.

[radier]

All people called Obrovsky a liar when he post his BD results. Afterall it was he who told us the truth way before the launch.

[Kuroimaho]

Well even Matose was flamed for releasing that preview about BD and benching with a bad bios, not using windows 8 and what not.

I wish we could get some useful info today about the desktop cards but I really doubt that, NV would have a month to plan their answer, so I expect them to hold their cards close to their chest till launch day.

[STaRGaZeR]

It was only the usual AMD fanboys flaming everything they didn't like, don't take them too seriously.

[informal]

So launch is really close then? Is it realistic to expect them in December ? I always expected Q1 launch but sooner the better.

paper launch for the press is one thing, decent stock levels of the entire lineup another

[3lfk1ng]

Yes, launch is just around the corner.

We won't see the 7000series in desktops this year, in fact, I don't think we will see them readily available until February or March. However, Asus and HP have confirmed that they will have the 7000series (mobile variant) available in laptops hopefully before the end of the year. Source

Any more news from London?

The most information I could find was on Chiphell. (Linked originally from mydrivers)

Other interesting finds:
Hp has 7000mobile drivers available.
Apples Mac Pro will use HD7000 series cards
Found a site with some detailed specs and prices

I thought Nvidia won the next round of Macs? Or is that only particular models after a particular date?

[3lfk1ng]

Maybe they won in the mobile market?

Nvidia probably won the Macbooks, and the workstations stuck with AMD.

You will see the first one in january ( note i dont say high end, low end or mid end )... gigabyte, Asus, MSI have allready their calendar ready ...

for mobile... lol ... its another world... all depend the strategy of the brand.

Well why Nvidia talking ? i dont know how will end the computing gpu axed from AMD... but the only thing i know is the last 4 computing conferences was about to get rid of CUDA and Nvidia... ( not cause it's bad, but you can't make heteregnous system with CUDA, and so you can't make a good computing system with CUDA ( and ofc thoses conferences was outside AMD fusion 1 and 2 conferences ).
CUDA is too much axed on gpu side, and is not possible to include it in the source layer... you want get a computing source in the base layer and determine the computing calculator, at the source, not with additional layers for get a full capacity... the invert offer CUDA now.

[3lfk1ng]

Perhaps you should read the articles that I posted. They would add evidence to my quote that you questioned with no evidence.

Also, keep in mind that launch and paper-launch are two separate things.

Ahh roger roger, yeh I only ever skipped over the original article

[tbone8ty]

any slides yet?

[3lfk1ng]

Nothing that I could find, information is still super sparse.
