    HD7000: Leaked AMD GPU roadmap (supposedly)

    Nordic have some supposedly leaked info on AMDs upcoming GPU releases:

    http://www.nordichardware.com/news/7...us-memory.html

    Suggests the first products will be based on existing architecture. Later products will move to the new Next architecture core, and maybe XDR2 ram.

    Well, I'm definitely waiting for the HD 7970 or 7950. I just hope they manage to get them out a lot sooner than Q2 2012.

    Interesting but NO RAMBUS. We will see. 6990 performance in 185 watt package

    Re: HD7000: Leaked AMD GPU roadmap (supposedly)

    I like the look of the HD7670. It probably will be around the same level as an HD6770 or HD6790 and have a short PCB like the HD5670.

    I do hope Nvidia produces some better sub £100 gaming graphics cards. The GTS450 is OK but TBH its no better than an HD5750/HD6750 or HD5770/HD6770 and consumes more power too. Even the GT440 does poorly against the HD5670 and HD6670. The OEM GT440 could have been a competitor but none of these were released to retail.

    Hopefully their GT440 replacement will have at least GTS450 level performance.

    "Kepler" is their new set of GPUs. I think I read that they are going to being released *after* Southern Islands, in 2012.

    Intrigued to see the pricing levels on these, especially after the difference between the 5870 (£300 when i bought it) and the 6870 (seen for £150). Silly question but are there any confirmed dates yet or is it still Q2?

    But the 5870 is faster than a 6870 anyway.
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    Absolutely - AMD shifted the performance levels so the *870 was no longer the fastest single GPU of the series, there's a whole tier of 900 series above them now.

    That's the case again here - more so if the 7870 retains the VLIW4 structure of the previous gen's 69*0 cards while the 79*0 series gets a whole new compute-biased architecture.

    This new architecture really interestest me to see what they can do. Hopefully it doesnt take as long as BD to release

    I genuinely hope AMD wipe the floor with Nvidia. They where gaining on them for a while and i would say the 6 series overall was a better series of chips than Nvidias 5 series. Its time to blow em outa the water!

    And hopefully they will be released earlier than Nvidia 6! Less waiting for me

    I hope the 7000 series doesn't have a crazy amount of delays like bulldozer!

    Re: HD7000: Leaked AMD GPU roadmap (supposedly)

    Do you think (speculation warning!) that in the future AMD will be able to make an APU with i5-2500k+Radeon 6950 like performance? That discrete GPUs will no longer be needed? I guess it'd make upgrades harder

    I take this quote from a discussion about NVIDIA loosing GPU market share:
    The problem with having their entire market dependent on Intel is that Intel is about to do the same thing AMD just did, that is integrate a GPU into the CPU. Once Intel does that the entire low end market is absolutely gone. Whether there is a sustainable market for discrete GPU once the low and middle are taken over by the APU is a very valid question.

    People need to keep in mind a little history here. The industry moves in cycles, CPU’s tend to cycle to slowly for fast moving technology but as the rate of advancement slows that technology will get reintegrated into the CPU. Shortly before 3D cards became popular discrete graphics cards cratered in price. There was little to differentiate them and there was talk of integrating their limited circuitry into the CPU. Once 3D hit the 3D tech was moving at 4x the speed of the CPU refreshes so discrete parts became the norm, but we will cycle back to integrating the circuitry back into the CPU, it is inevitable. We are rapidly nearing that point, GPU refreshes are nearly every 2 years at this point, which is the same as the CPU cycle making it economical for the CPU vendors to integrate the GPU’s onto the die. There will undoubtedly be a discrete market for a few more years to come, particularly if they come out with a new technology that everyone needs. I’m not optimistic that will occur and without the huge sales of the cheap parts I’m doubtful that companies like nVidia can sustain the R&D machine to compete with the CPU makers.

    nVidia isn’t going to be gone in a year, or probably even two, but I doubt they will survive the decade. I actually see them being sold to Intel in a few years.

    I think that's also a given. In the future we'll look back and think this kind of tech is really old and slow.
