I think people might be interested in checking out the latest GPUPerfAPI release...it is at least intriguing in what it claims to have added support for.
Everything but the third fan is identical, down to every reflection. The odds of that happening in real life are very, very low.
I was quick to dismiss the gtx780 images, i don't want to do the same again.Everything but the third fan is identical, down to every reflection. The odds of that happening in real life are very, very low.
Do you mean the mention of HD 8000 series? That's probably just Kabini and Richland.
AMD67A2.1 = "HAWAII GL Gemini (67A2)"
AMD67A1.1 = "HAWAII GL40 (67A1)"
AMD67BE.1 = "HAWAII LE (67BE)"
AMD67B1.1 = "HAWAII PRO (67B1)"
AMD67B0.1 = "HAWAII XT (67B0)"
AMD67A0.1 = "HAWAII XTGL (67A0)"
Good catch. Could be either, or both (or an arbitrary number). AFAIK, AMD doesn't traditionally disable ROPs/buses by 8 ROPs/64 bits respectively, so my guess is that it would be 40 CUs. I wonder if ROPs are still decoupled.Hawaii GL40. AFAIR GL denotes FireGL/Pro card, does the 40 mean 40CUs? or 40ROPs?
Not necessarily. A large chip isn't a requirement, nor is long fab time. Either would make it more likely, however. A large chip means larger process variation, leading to more potential parts. Long fab time means longer time to acquire less-functional parts.An "LE" version from the start points to either a very large chip or it's been getting fabbed for quite a while already doesn't it?
Was there anything similar with Tahiti and earlier cards?
7870 Myst/XT.Sort of. There was supposed to have been an 7890/7930, but I don't think it ever surfaced. There was definitely a 6790, and a cut down 6950 that was a limited run card (I think). There was also a 5830.
Ah, I don't ever remember seeing reviews for that. It certainly didn't get exposure on the major hardware sites. Still, a 2013 release is a lot later than its expected timeframe...
I have only see a few models based on ThaitiLE.. the Club3D and this MSI who have just been annonced.

AMD Volcanic Islands “Hawaii” Codenames:
- AMD67A2.1 = “HAWAII GL Gemini (67A2)”
- AMD67A1.1 = “HAWAII GL40 (67A1)”
- AMD67BE.1 = “HAWAII LE (67BE)”
- AMD67B1.1 = “HAWAII PRO (67B1)”

Could someone please refresh my memory:
What exactly is Sea Islands, again?
Seeing that apparently Volcanic Islands is coming in Q3 or Q4, I want to get the names straight. Sea Islands, Central Islands, Canary Islands (?), Volcanic Islands...
