Radeon HD 6000 in late October

The Southern Islands appear to be on its way in the second half of the tenth month.

The video card series, codenamed AMD Southern Islands, is so sure that it will be an upgrade to the current Evergreen series, meaning it is not a new architecture, but a further optimized and slightly improved RV870, in addition to which the 40nm production lines will continue to be used. . The “new” series will debut to the general public from October 2010-15, 29. This is allegedly inside information that was leaked by an AMD man and of course has not been officially confirmed. So much has been learned that the cards will not be available immediately after launch, so a similar start is expected as last year for the HD 5000 series. It has yet to be stated that the name HD 6000 is not official either, but this is considered to be the most likely!

AMD’s other big throw will be the Northern Islands, which will already be built on a completely new architecture and will be built with 28nm manufacturing technology. In addition, it will be much faster than the Evergreen series, will have better efficiency and will also undergo a thorough increase in tessellation performance. However, this is still a long way off, as it is expected to arrive in the third quarter of 2011 at the earliest.
