dug up some more information about the next-gen Hecantoncheires architecture from ATI. The site revealed some more codenames and claims these chips will introduce MIMD shaders.
AMD's upcoming Hecatoncheires graphics architecture, the one that will eventually become Evergreen's successor, introduces three new subcategory codenames under its family name. Due to the original nature of AMD's latest marketing decisions, we are again talking about Greek codenames, so the pronunciation may be difficult for some. If you're up to the task, the family consists of Briareos, Gyes and Kottos.
On another note, three more Greek codenames are reserved for the mobile GPU department. In regards to architectural changes, the only information we were able to discover is that these new chips should introduce MIMD shaders..
