AMD
is a company that never stops release new products where they are in heavy
competition with NVIDIA. Therefore
they are preparing to launch products with the latest GPU architecture and the
most reliable. Series GPU will be named "Sea Islands" which will be the Radeon 8000 series brand.
Rumor says that this
GPU will have 5.1 billion transistors with the 28nm manufacturing technology.
Keep in mind that the GPU product currently has 4.3 billion transistors in
which the increase in the number of transistors is 18%. However, this GPU
promises 40% performance improvement.
For the internal
configuration of the GPU architecture is composed of 2560 stream processors,
160 texture units (TMU), and 32/38 ROP units and 384 bit memory bus. Talk like
a frequency rate has not changed.
Later there are three
types of GPU with this architecture are: Venus (the highest specifications),
Oland and Mars.
*Oland:
Die
size: 135 square millimeters or 160 square
millimeters.
Transistor
count: 1.7 billion or 2.0 billion.
Stream
processing units: 768 units or 896 units.
TMUs:
40 units or 48 units.
ROPs:
16 units for both possible variants.
Memory
BUS width: 128 bits or 192 bits.
*Mars:
Die
size: 85 square millimeters.
Transistor
count: 0.9 billion.
Stream
processing units: 320-384 units.
TMUs:
20 or 24 units.
ROPs:
8 or 16 units.
Memory
BUS width: 64-128 bits.
But you have to
patiently wait for the new product ‘AMD
Radeon 800’ may be present early in 2013 and begin production later this
year.
