The top chap that stayed in AMD after ATI achievement, Rick Bergman has approach up with a preparation how to take in journalists as well as partners and tries to keep the graphics plans for itself, awaiting very close to commence. We know that several new people also declare that they invented this plan, but hardly any people in AMD told us it was Bergman.
We can provide him credit as he did relatively a good job. We know that Evergreen is the codename for the entire generation but now we got more information. R800 dual chip is codenamed Hemlock, top single chip card is Cypress while performance runner up codename (substitute for 4850) is codenamed Juniper. Redwood is the codename for a DirectX 11 card with innovative 3D engine, PCIe 2.0 along with UVD2.0 in 40nm as well as this card should reinstate RV740 /RV730 cards.
The slowest of new-fangled DirectX 11 cards is codenamed Cedar as well as all of the are sharing the similar basic specification that contain DirectX 11, with brand new 3D engine (more shaders), PCIe.2.0 as well as UVD 2.0, all finished in the latest 40nm process.
Charlie has used many of these names if not all at his site here, but this is the first time we can verify them from our sources.
