| AMD "Sea Islands" and "Solar System" GPU Families Codenames Detailed There has been quite some confusion over the codenames of AMD's next generation Radeon HD 8000 series GPUs. A new article, published by 3DCenter.org sought to dispel some of that. To begin with, the "Solar System" family, whose members are named after planets in the solar system, make up AMD's Radeon HD 8000M series mobile-GPUs. Some of these parts could even be featured in contraptions such as all-in-one desktops and compact nettops, owing to space-constraints. The "Sea Islands" line of GPUs, form the center of AMD's desktop discrete GPU lineup, the Radeon HD 8000 series, which make up graphics cards you can buy in the retail channel. Parts in this lineup are named after tropical islands. AMD's Radeon HD 8000 series introduces refinements to its Graphics CoreNext micro-architecture, marked by the press as "GCN2." Not all parts are based on GCN2, with the already-announced Radeon HD 8000M "Mars" GPU being based on older GCN micro-architecture. The codenames for both lines are listed below. http://www.techpowerup.com/178312/AM...-Detailed.html |
