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

[The|Hunter]

Can you really talk about CUs on VLIW4? Pitcairn will most likely be around 2.6B trannie just like Cayman. And i Doubt Pitcairn will be half a Cape Verde.

Sorry if i misunderstood your answer but 7700 and 7800 ain't gonna be VLIW anymore, they're apparently GCN too.. So those Compute units are real".

Remember that we previously reported the latest low-end discrete GPU offerings from AMD will be re-brands? Well, it looks like the low-end desktop offerings will get the same treatment. In a series of documents detailing the next low-end discrete GPU offerings from AMD, all of them indicate that AMD will not make a low-end part based on the Graphics Core Next (GCN) architecture, but instead they are all re-brands of the legacy VLIW5 products, and are targeted, at the time of publication, to OEMs only.

ok yea i know its semiaccurate, but still info is info
