There will be no AMD Radeon HD 7000 this year

Nvidia had previously announced that it would not be able to launch the latest Kepler-based graphics processors this year, seemingly benefiting the other graphics chip maker, but now gloomy information has also started leaking from AMD.

Once upon a time, we had heard information that TSMC's weak 28nm technology was likely to lag behind the advent of 28nm GPUs, which was later refuted by AMD and provided by information from nearby AMD news sources that the end of the third quarter some of the members of the latest series are on the market, then the goal has been reached in the fourth quarter, which was expected, but now it seems that this year we will not be richer with graphics cores produced in 28 nm bandwidth, more and more places are coming we say that AMD can only launch cards made with such a process next year.

What seems certain is that following the usual schedule, they will focus primarily on the top card, which will be marketed as the Radeon HD 7900, presumably in two versions as usual with HD7970 and HS7950, and later New Zealand with two cores representing the actual top of the segment. will be codenamed cards, but they are unlikely to be on the market when they first appear. The performance of the Tahiti graphics processor is expected to be between the HD 6990 and the single-core HD 6970, and is expected to do so in terms of price, although the current peak will be closer to Radeon, but will be much more solid in consumption and Cayman GPU will bid below.

For the time being, except for the slip, AMD will still have an advantage over Nvidia, but they are losing the advantage, it is clear. We can’t know for sure that AMD’s new Radeon cards won’t be unveiled this year, but they are now widely available and it’s safe to say they won’t. We are curious to see when AMD will present the card or whether it wants to take a formal position on this news.
