The Radeon HD 7000 series, codenamed "Southern Islands", is a family of GPUs developed by AMD,[9] and manufactured on TSMC's 28 nm process.[10]
The primary competitor of Southern Islands was Nvidia's GeForce 600 series (also manufactured at TSMC), which shipped during Q1 2012, largely due to the immaturity of the 28 nm process.[11]
