Maybe they'll just do paper launch in Q4 2013...AMD Reportedly Launching Volcanic Islands GPUs in 2013
Last year, a report revealed that AMD?s Volcanic Islands series would be the first to make use of a 20nm process and would arrive sometime in 2014. However, in a recent interview with AMD?s Jim Keller and Chekib Akrout, Rage3d has revealed that the Volcanic Islands GPUs would launch in 2013.
AMD 20nm Volcanic Islands GPUs in 2013?
?The next generation of graphics cards ? Volcanic Islands ? is coming this year and shaping up nicely. When you name products after places, it leads to interesting thoughts about where to hold events surrounding that namesake product. Typically places that are cheap to get travel to internationally for a worldwide congregation are preferred, so I?m off to renew my passport on the off chance I?m headed to Reykjavik later this summer. But I sure as hell wouldn?t complain about being sent to Honolulu, either.? Rage3D
This could be huge news if true for AMD fans and could possibly provide a hint at the late launch of the much anticipated Radeon HD 8000 series GPUs. It was hinted by various techsites that the launch wasn?t planned to be late but it was delayed instead. The new VI (Volcanic Islands) GPU?s would be manufactured on a 20nm Gate-Last process through either TSMC or Common Platform Alliance.
Update: While this news is not confirmed by AMD yet, Sweclockers reports that Volcanic Islands could be coming in the last quarter and feature the Hawaii Core that replaces Tahiti. The Volcanic Islands architecture although not confirmed could stick to 28nm.
