AMD Trinity to use Radeon HD 7000 graphics

FUD Zilla noticed that GlobalFoundries has seemingly confirmed that its next-gen GPUs will use the Radeon HD 7000 series designation.

Globalfoundries have just showed a slide confirming next generation Radeon HD 7000 graphics will be used in upcoming Trinity parts, codenamed Comal and Virgo.

We believe that this settles the score, HD 7000 is the official designation for Southern Islands, AMD’s 28nm next generation graphics. The current schedule still indicates a launch in later part of September, just before the end of the quarter, to make the investors a bit happier. This should take place a year after the Northern Island Radeon HD 6000 launch.
