In an article by published by 3DCenter.org new Codenames of AMD's Sea Islands & Solar Systems habe been cleared up a little. To begin with, the "Solar System" family are AMD's Radeon HD 8000M series mobile-GPUs. The "Sea Islands" line of GPUssre AMD's desktop discrete GPU lineup, the Radeon HD 8000 series. AMD's Radeon HD 8000 series introduces refinements to its Graphics CoreNext micro-architecture, marked by the press as "GCN2." Not all parts are based on GCN2, with the already-announced Radeon HD 8000M "Mars" GPU being based on older GCN micro-architecture. The codenames for both lines are listed after the break:.
MD Sea Islands (Desktop)
- Oland (Low Cost-Chip GCN1-Basis, 384 Shader-units and TMUs - 16 ROPs - 128 Bit DDR Interface
- Bonaire (Possible Mainstream-Chip - GCN2-Basis comparable to Cape-Verde-Chips Radeon HD 7700 Series)
- Hainan (Possible Performance-Chip - GCN2-Basis - comparable Radeon HD 7800 Serie)
- Curacao (Possible High End-Chip - GCN2-Basis - R1000/Tahiti-Chips comparable Radeon HD 7900 Serie)
- Aruba (Possible DualChip - GCN2-Basis comparable Radeon HD 7990)
AMD Solar Systems (Mobile)
- Mars (LowCost-Chip GCN1-Basis Oland-basis, 384 Shader-Einheiten - 24 TMUs - 16 ROPs -128 Bit DDR Interface
