Not that I have found, there has been some articles on things but not many.
There was a decent blog post a couple of years ago, but I cannot find it anymore, even from caches.
Here's the best I have read recently.

The vgleaks article mentioned that original Orbis devkit used a GPU interface called "gnm" (running under a windows environment).
It doesn't say what that means though, nor whether later devkits were using gcm.

For a mixed graphics/compute workload. Is anyone claiming a boost to graphics only too?

More details on the GPU. Compute Queues and Pipelines

Maybe the GPU features GCN2 technology instead of GCN?
On a different note, PS4 is available at zavvi.com and listed there. You can pre-order it already, the price is £399.99 or €515.99.

I would swear that it isn't going to be the definite price, it's too premature to list a price for an unreleased console we don't know that much about.

This also means that you could use it for regular chat with friends and stuff. It would be great not having to use the headphones to chat at all.
Additionally, rumours say that Sony are going to ask people to show their real name in their Sony PS network profile.
For reference, I for one use mine as my GT too, since a couple of years ago, and I have never had a problem with that. So I think it is another neat idea if you ask me.

Yes, if not GCN 2.0 then some kind of precursor to it.
Could the TFLOPS effectively be worth more than 1.0s?
Why the assumption that it is GCN 2.0?
GCN does this, with the exception of the additional queue and ACEs. A non 2.0 ISA document already mentioned this.

well there you go.
GCN is a wide-ranging definition of a whole architectural platform. It's designed to allow the number of compute pipes to vary, it's only the initial implementations that decided on 2.
It's up to AMD to decide how they want to label it, but at least by their PR, GCN is how it's being called going forward for Sea Islands. Sea Islands has or will have chips with this many queues as well.

We have the granularity to feed the CUs.We still have to solve the latency problem.
