Just read this article on Techpowerup. If true, then them 20nm chips are going to be beast.

0.00022 microns? I'm afraid notIsn't the next fab process .22nm?
I say bull,
512bit memory interface?

TSMC is going to 20nm. Not that there's a huge difference between it and 22nm...

Going against the 700 series which is pretty much a rebrand + castrated titan?
My guess: 8gb onboard GDDR5 and hardware -based frame metering for CFX latency issues.
That 2nm difference could add up to a bit of power savings the more cores/transistors there are. And that's never a bad thing.
That 8GB seems to be a lot... I think maybe in a minimun of 4GB up to 6GB wich i think will be more adecuate but only in the higher-end hypotetical HD 9790 or whatever they name the card... To the moment in the way that 4k resolution become more viable and popular (just like the moment of 2560x1600).. More cards will need that amount of vram... I do not think even with the next consoles gen the games need more than 4GB vram... The XFire latency well that its a must to do...

Will be keeping an eye out for this!
you can't put 6GB on a 512bit bus
hence the reason bus sizes have "set" amounts of memory
GTX 580 = 1.5GB, 3GB, 384bit bus
7970 = 3GB, 6GB, 384bit bus
GTX 680 = 2GB, 4GB, 256bit bus
Citation, please.
Are you just unfamiliar with that, or are you doubting him?
Nevertheless, here's a good explanation for you:

Boils down to the basics of how computers have been designed, everything pretty much revolves around 8bit and multiples of that. Which I think is what is mentioned later in that thread, called "Power of 2". Anyways, in the example it shows you CAN, but it's just not smart [ideally efficient]. We could probably see DIMMs in 3GB modules with 2GB on one side and 1GB on the other, except it'd complicate things when addressing the available space.
(note: this is just my understanding, but I'm pretty confident it's the case)
one might point out the 2GB 660 on a 192bit bus, surely just the same process in reverse?
I guess that was the main reason of they launch only HD 8000 series OEM...
AMD do not will launch their next gen on the HD8000 series.. Will be on the HD9000 or whatever they call it... The HD 8000 its just a rehash of the HD 7000 series with the memory a bit faster nothing more that a rebrand..
There is no "Only OEM 8000 series", they're just doing the usual AMD shindig and relaunching a few low end cards. There should be a Hawaii HD8xxx series.
Again, there are a few OEM only low-end cards but the plan is for Hawaii to the the upper end of the 8000 series. Hell, almost all the 8000 series will be new silicon, there's just a few rebrands in the LOW end, and ONLY for OEMs. Hawaii should still be 8000 series.
Yes, there is an OEM only part of HD8000, it doesn't mean HD8000 is exclusively rebranding though. Hawaii should still end up as the "actual" HD8970 or what have you.
Will be keeping an eye out for this!
That's nice but im gonna keep both of my eyes open
And no Hawaii will not be an 8000 series...sorry
Ya, some people still waiting HD 8000 to be hawaii.. And the fact its even that HD8000 are available.. But only OEM as a rebrand of 7000 series..
I can't tell if you are just a troll in every subforum you post in, or just so uneducated that you believe the stuff you spew out..You are the first official entry to my ignore list, and I have tolerated a lot (of your troll like kind) that most people couldn't...
