Codenames of AMD's Sea Islands & Solar Systems

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
• Sun  (Possible Mainstream-Chip GCN2-Basis with Bonaire basis  <->  Radeon HD 7700M Serie)
• Neptune  (Possible Mainstream-Chip auf GCN2-Basis with Bonaire basis<->  Radeon HD 7800M Serie)
• Venus  (Possible Performance-Chip auf GCN2-Basis mit Hainan basis in Ersatz <-> Radeon HD 7900M Serie)
