Huum, you really find they are hard to uninstall ? and seriously if you want a good waterblock, buy a real gpu waterblock.. or ask Corsair to do one for GPU... you dont want, they made hole in the pcb for fix a stock intel cooler too ?
AMD: Volcanic Islands R1100/1200 (8***/9*** series) Speculation/ Rumour Thread

I would rather see more convenient placement of the MOSFETs on the PCB. With the 7900 Series stock design, those puny things are lined in a single file, tightly squeezed between other VRM components, making it often quite hard to mount more bulkier third party/customized heat sink.

Volcanic Islands/Hawaii (Hawaiian dancers) design kit introduction at end of September? This should not concern reference launch cards?
Next mobile family: Crystal System.

From VR-Zone: "New naming the new architecture, AMD graphics card naming or big update will be fully" (original).
The names for the "9000" series of GPUs may be of the form R9-xxxx, R8-xxxx, etc.

It also says Oland is a next-gen GPU…
Assuming they start the X number at 1(Series number?) and then have the other 3 x numbers as the model number then it should look something like:
HD-9970 = R9-1970
HD-9950 = R9-1950
HD-9870 = R8-1870
HD-9850 = R8-1850
I like it, similar to the A10/A8/A6 and also the i7/i5/i3 naming schemes.

Why go 1970 if R9 denotes the segment already? Why nor R9-1000?
The same reason Intel i* processors still have a higher number? The other reason is that their competition still has one set of numbers only and they want their parts to look at least comparable in every part of the name. I guess having the lower end parts having a higher 1xxx number could only make them look better, though. It's definitely a bit of redundancy that is only in place as a nod to the legacy and for the sake of comparison.
Because it makes the transition to the new names easier to understand for people already used to the current naming numbers.
I hope this is inaccurate.
AMD Radeon R9-D2xx looks awful, Desktop doesn't need labeling and mobile only needs to be slapped on at the end.

I hope it is true. It would be different and quite innovative for me

Sorry, double post

I only wish they'd release Radeon R2D2 too
That would be the lowest card on offer, it would be an insult to the great droid.I only wish they'd release Radeon R2D2 too
I agree, also they should make it similar to their APU name scheme.
A10/R9
A8/R8
A6/R7
and then follow it with a 4 digit number.
The only im sure is they let down the "HD".. for the rest, i think today it is just some site who have "Imagine what can be the new naming scheme"..
R for radeon make sense, for the other numbers, i really dont know. its clear too they maybe will not use the 9000 naming scheme, as in reality they was allready ATI 9500-9700-9800-9600-9200

Hmm, sounds strange. Don't they use for that purpose the islands codenames? Or some other type of weird CPNs?
