AMD Starts Mass Production of GPU Radeon HD 7000 in May Upcoming

With the existence of three low-end GPU card from the fleet flagship Radeon HD 6000 Series of his ready for release to the market in the near future, AMD seems to change most of its attention toward 28nm GPU tecnology, the Southern Islands to come. Then coupled with the claim that the report recently appeared related to the production plan is problem fastest in May and the release date is expected in June or July.

The report it self comes from the publication DigiTimes with quote sources "from graphics card makers", which unfortunately does not reveal other details about the chip in location.

There's even a word that indicates that the Southern Islands besutan AMD GPU is based on the same architecture as used in the current core Cayman (or rather can be found in the architecture of the Radeon HD 6900 GPU card).

This will be tweaked to 28nm manufacturing process and production of smaller nodes. That way, of course, will allow AMD to install the unit streaming into  the Radeon HD 7000 series GPU later.

So far, there is only speclation about the performance of the latest AMD graphics cores. However, with advances in fabrication technology may even be as single-GPU HD 7000 will more sophisticated and far more superior than the Radeon HD 6990 available today.

Production of the Southern Islands, the frist time will be built by TSMC. And if all goes well with its 28nm fabrication technology, to furhter the production of some parts will soon be moved production to GlobalFoundries.

Range Radeon HD 7000 graphics cards will include both desktop and notebooks. As for the mobile version of the GPU itself is likely to soon bring four different models in the future.

Previously there was leakage associated with the launch of the Radeon 7000 GPU first in the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2011. However, news gathering has now become biased due to the emergence of new news regarding the Southern Islands desktop GPU which will soon be released in the third quarter(Q3) this year since AMD introduced the first version of the desktop GPU recently.
