Rumor: AMD’s Next-Gen GPU Family is Codenamed ‘Caribbean Islands’

Posted: 07 Dec 2014 05:16 PM PST

AMD R9 300 Series

Sorry Shakespeare, but GPU family names are kinda important

Those next-gen AMD GPU rumors are coming in thick and fast. Late last month, we had someone on Chinese tech forum ChipHell post some tantalizing performance numbers that they claimed belonged to an upcoming (presumably a R9 300 series) graphics card and now we have a new report that is questioning something that the tech media has taken for granted until now — the codename of AMD's next-gen GPU family.

According to Fudzilla, the company's next-gen GPU series isn't codenamed "Pirate Islands", as has been widely believed for what now appears an eternity, but "Caribbean Islands." And lest you not take this report seriously, the author decided to personally vouch for the reliability of the site's sources, who are apparently "never wrong about these things."

"AMD might actually confirm this at its February investor relations conference. It also shared the news with some of its partners," Fudzilla said. "We won't go into details and speculate whether this is a planar 20nm or even 16 FinFET generation, as we simply don't know at this time. We are sure speculation will be rampant and we will find out sooner or later."

Despite the site's extreme confidence in the accuracy of this info, this is still nothing more than a rumor and therefore we'd like to see something more substantial; perhaps something like a leaked company slide or a customs manifest like the one that recently confirmed the existence of an AMD GPU codenamed "Fiji XT".

As for a specific time frame for the launch, the site admittedly doesn't have anything more accurate to offer at this stage other than "summer of 2015."

"The timeframe for the launch is not very accurate and we can't pinpoint it, so we are looking at a June to August launch window. That is the best range we can guess."

Marvel Heroes Magneto Launches


Ok normally I don't fan boy over a character. But I gotta say love this character. They got his feel down, the lines powers everything. And to top it off he is a total bad ass. So much damage AOE and power fun to be had. I can't recommend a character any higher then this one. Now in other news all new players have a potential to get 400 Eternity Splinters close to the beginning of the game. Also you can use all start heroes up to level ten. Then pick one you want to mainly use. Also remember at the end of the first story playthrough. You get another 200 Splinters. So that will make 600 you can use to get anyone. But I'd suggest Magneto because he is the perfect starter hero/anti-hero.
