Reporters on the eve of Forbes Publication was able to talk to Matt Skinner (Matt Skynner), Vice-President and Managing AMD graphics products, and ask him a few questions regarding the new GPU generation .
First, Skinner confirmed that Volcanic Islands generation processors will be made on 28-nanometer technology. According to him, this process technology allows for higher clock frequencies and better performance. Obviously, a sample AMD 20 nm products, but the technology is still not suitable for mass production.
Second, in an interview with Skinner mentioned that the area of Hawaii crystal is 30% less to the processor GK110. AMD has said that they managed to achieve the best combination of performance GPU to the area occupied.
Thirdly, Hawaii is not the cheapest solution. The processor is focused on enthusiasts segment , but not on the ultra-enthusiasts. Simply put, video cards based on Hawaii will not be cheaper Radeon HD 7970, while the price is unlikely to reach the marks typical of monsters like the Radeon HD 7990 or GeForce GTX Titan.
