The title basically says everything that I want to know. I know you guys arent allowed to speculate on future products, but I was just wondering whether it would fall under the R600\R700 class, or if it would be R800 or newer?
If it is R700 then by the time it's released it should have decent open source support. But really I'm mostly concerned about general purpose processing. It would be nice to have a general purpose ISA, or API that developers could use for things like video codecs. Or maybe physics libraries. It'd take DRI out of the loop, and would allow the GPU to be used far more liberally.
What generation will the core be? How open source friendly will it be And what about an open source general purpose API?
