View source for Southern Islands

AMD's followup GPU to [[Cayman]], also known as GCN ("Graphics Core Next") and targeted for release alongside [[Bulldozer]] late in 2011. Southern Islands will depart from VLIW for the first time since the R300 (Radeon 9700), moving to 256-bit [[SIMD]] (at the same length as YMM registers, these might be suitable for [[AVX]] instructions).
