AMD 8000 series cards faster by 40% of Tahiti 2

AMD is preparing a company specialized in the manufacturing of graphics cards and central processors for the issuance of the new architectural graphics cards own this winter, the new series will come in the name of a symbolic "Sea Islands", or cards Vstata as "card series Radeon 8000".

Not much is known about the new series, but rumors say that the new cards made ​​up from 5.1 billion transistors and will be manufactured through precision manufacturing company for 28nm TSMC.

If we take into consideration that the current generation of graphics cards comes the number of 4.3 billion transistors, increasing 18% in the number of transistors can increase the overall performance of the card by up to 40%, but the number of transistors can not be that dramatically increases and this is because the card was manufactured as precision manufacturing 28nm cards were manufactured by the current and Die Size up to 410 millimeters.

Internal configuration of the architecture is expected to be 2560 Stream Processors 160, unit EXA 0.32 or 48 ROP units and memory bus 384-Bit.

Lack of manufacturing precision manufacturing of graphics cards does not mean that less new cards will come at high temperatures, in fact, after six months from now, the accuracy of manufacturing of 28nm TSMC company will reach to about a year old and will be fully matured significantly, and that AMD will do all it in its power to make their architectural efficiency is greater than the current.
