@ 2011/04/15AMD is reportedly already preparing its next series of Radeon HD 7000-series GPUs, and planning to start mass production of the new chips in May this year. Taiwanese tech site DigiTimes claims the move will follow the introduction of the company's Radeon HD 6670, 6570 and 6450 GPUs this month, citing graphics card makers as its source.
There's no word on the specifications of the new GPUs yet, but previous rumours have stated that they will be fabricated using TSMC's 28nm facilities. We originally expected to see new GPUs based on TSMC’s 28nm manufacturing process in autumn this year, and the smaller transistors will represent a large step down the process scale from the current 40nm process used for AMD’s Radeon HD 6000-series and Nvidia’s latest GeForce 500-series GPUs.
