The Rumour Mill.

The purpose of this thread is to keep track of rumours posted on the various news websites regarding future video cards.

Please feel free to post links to any rumours regarding video cards following the guidelines below.

1. They must be from a news site like VideoCardz, ordinary forum speculation will not be used.

2. A link to that site and article.

If they are interesting I will copy them into the OPs.

If you want to get into a heavy debate about the various rumours there are plenty of other threads to do it in.

First charlie back in 2010 predicted gf to provide 28nm over tsmc.
However gf were so far behind in 28nm as richland and trinity were meant to use 28nm.
So amd used tsmc.
http://www.semiaccurate.com/forums/showthread.php?p=43089

Now in 2015 we have the rumour of very late to the party gf 28nm shp made be used for 2015.
Which is related to above.
But will we see it for 2015.

Hey Kaap I got one.

Fudzilla claimed that AMD's next GPU family would actually be a stopgap called Caribbean Islands using a reworked Hawaii.

Quite a few rumours in this one.

Was it Gibbo who originated this one? Or a site?
