I can't wait for AMD APU's with GCN based graphics in 2013. Using 22nm/20nm it will give AMD the ability to drastically lower power consumption.

Looks like you have no idea what you are talking about and Anton was right afterall. Considering you are an AMD fanboy, it's surprising that you didn't know that Sea Islands doesn't exist.

Oops.

During AMD's Financial Analyst Day 2012, the company took no hesitation to present its roadmap in the GPU front extending all the way into late 2013. At the very top of its Client and Graphics Roadmap depicts the 28nm Southern Islands GPU family being replaced with a new 28nm Sea Islands GPU family sometime in 2013.

Good job Anton for calling this one almost a month ago. Thumps up!

I love it. Another site calling out Sea Islands. Like the post above me says, there is no sea islands. AMD's next GPU line is Canary Islands.

Sea Islands is the 2nd generation of GCN architecture and it is definitely not made up. It is slated for launch in 2013 and is actually on AMD's GPU Roadmap slides.

AMD has now confirmed that its next-generation Radeon HD 8000 Series family will indeed be released under this (i.e., "Sea Islands"

codename.

Here is the slide from AMD's Financial Analyst Day 2012:
