I just read something i thought i should share. I'ts an interview with Ruben Sorya, manager of AIB partner relations at AMD Canada (formerly CO at ATI) and he gave some points about AMD's next gen graphics cards.
summarized and translated from Hebrew:
1) "Next gen graphics is scheduled for release in Q1 2012, don't call it 'HD7000' because it may not be the final name."
2) "Next gen will release high-end first, with surprising new 'features'."
3) "AMD will get more involved with game developers as it was with Dirt3."
4) "Hybrid-Crossfire (or 'Dual Graphics' as i call it) will get a strong push with A series APUs."
5) "We have no intention on blocking Lucid Virtu, or anyone for that matter, in our drivers." (sounds like a jab to me
😉 )
6) "AMD will continue to work with both GloFo and TSMC. as it seems right now, next gen Radeons will be produced at TSMC."
