Just received the news, AMD will release a new generation of dual-core end of this year's flagship graphics card, replace the existing top-end Radeon HD 5970.We have basically been confirmed before, AMD next generation graphics "Southern Islands" will begin publishing in October, November onwards listed. Optimization of the South Island is still a small core of the strategy adopted, the first offensive performance level in the field, then it will launch dual-core version.

Radeon HD 5970 has up to ten months of life, so far still firmly occupy the throne of Emperor card, which in the highly competitive graphics card market is extremely rare. NVIDIA GF10x series is still not entered the mainstream and lower end, the legends of the core, dual-core with two GF104 model also has disappeared, it now appears AMD is not intended to rival any breathing room, Radeon HD 5970 might be so lonely China has completed a lifetime.

TSMC 32nm process as cancellation, GlobalFoundries 28nm process is still far from the South Island series graphics card will still use 40nm process, and little change in the architecture, is an enhanced version of the current Evergreen architecture. It is reported thatthe core of the South Island will support the new HDMI interface, and the new "UVD-Eyefinity" technology seems to be ultra-high resolution multi-screen video playback system, full hardware decoding, so a multi-screen function of the system to be more rich, while the cost will be reduced.

The next key is to see how it will fight back the NVIDIA.
