14 DAY TRIAL // Although AMD's HD 6000 mobile solutions haven't made it out in the open yet, the company is already thinking about its next generation notebook GPUs, a recent leak revealing the codenames and some details regarding AMD's 28nm graphics card lineup that is expected to arrive in Q4 2011.
This latest news story comes from the same website that brought us the very first pieces of information regarding the high-end Wimbledon GPU, expected to become AMD's flagship 28nm Mobility Radeon HD 7000 video card in 2012.
Just as Wimbledon, these new Radeon models will be built using the same 28nm manufacturing process.
Starting from top to bottom, the Heathrow GPU features either a 128 or 192-bit memory bus interface and can be configured with 1.5GB or 3GB of GDDR5 memory, its TDP being rated between 35 and 45W, depending on the version implemented.
Its performance should be 1.3 times better than that of the next in line GPU, called Chelsea.
As fas as its specification go, Chelsea features a 128-bit memory interface, 1GB of GDDR5 memory, or 2GB of GDDR3 memory, and has a 20 to 30W TDP.
Just like the Heathrow GPU, Chelsea should be 1.3 times faster than the soon to be released Whistler.
Finally, the last part in AMD's 28nm graphics arsenal is called Thames and is equipped with a 128-bit memory bus and 1GB of either GDDR5 or GDDR3 memory.
Its TDP will range between 15 to 20W and should be 2 times faster than the Seymour 40nm GPU that is scheduled for an early 2011 release as part of the Mobility Radeon HD 6000 series.
Other details are, unfortunately, not known at the moment, as there is still some time to go until the Radeon HD 7000 series makes its appearance, all these solutions being expected to arrive in Q4 2011. (via FudZilla)
