Charlie Demerjian, over at Semiaccurate.com, wrote this about the future AMD Fiji GPU: “It looks like AMD’s upcoming Fiji has something fun, something that will provide some very interesting numbers.” Based on this hint, the guys at Wccftech.com are thinking about what this might mean.
We still don't know when Fiji is going to be launched, so it might be based on a 20nm manufacturing process, or still based on a 28nm one. But 20nm is not “fun”, it's not new and Usman Pirzada, the author of Wccftech's article, thinks there's something more to it. AMD might be working on a GPU with stacked dRAM, since we have a lot of evidence about the company working on this kind of dRAM for graphic use, and this might actually be considered “fun”. Other than that, Usman guesses that they might be talking about an ARM core on the GPU, but this looks improbable.
Anyway, this is all rumours and speculations, and we have yet no official informations about Fiji GPU or the kind of technologies it's going to feature. In the next few months we might be able to gain some new information.
