AMD originally wanted a brand-new architecture (the first since Radeon HD 2000 series) on TSMC's 32-nm node, and it was codenamed "Northern Islands." Then they hit a snag: TSMC cancelled their 32-nm, instead deciding to go straight to 28-nm in 2011. At this point, a new family codename called "Souther Islands" came about; apparently it was still 40-nm, and would be a more efficient version of "Evergreen" (Radeon HD 5000 series).

This is not true. The upcoming Radeon HD 6000 series IS "Northern Islands" and IS a brand-new architecture. After the 32-nm process was cancelled, AMD moved "Northern Islands" back to the 40-nm node (obviously it probably lost a few shader/texture/pixel units to what AMD had planned for 32-nm), and also started work on "Southern Islands." The "Southern Islands" family will be a 28-nm die-shrink of "Northern Islands" and will most likely be manufactured at Globalfoundries (though it could still be TSMC, or even both).

!!! 新設計！！ NI 係40mn SI 先係 28nm 設計! 真係好多煙霧....

換言之，October release 既 HD 6000 series，
實情係原本我地所知既 "28nm Northern Islands" NI，只不過轉左用 40nm node 生產。
而真正堅料版 28nm 就係 Northern Islands 既 sucessor，Southern Islands。

之前所謂 Evergreen 強化版 "40nm Southern Islands" 只係煙霧彈，Fake 晒所有人。
而自 HD 2000 series 開始用到依家既舊架構將會同 ATi 呢個 brand name 一齊告別大家。

似乎自從 Evergreen 之後，AMD 保密程度完全超大度提升
