Codenames For AMD’s Volcanic Islands, Pirate Islands and Crystal Series Detailed

Many of you know that the flagship of the Volcanic Islands would be the Hawaii chip, but now we have some new updates. There are three new names revealed today as Tonga, Iceland and Maui. According to the report the New Zealand chip was supposed to debut with the HD 7000 series southern island series but it got Malta instead. So the AMD Volcanic Islands series would feature New Zealand as the flagship dual-chip card followed by Hawaii (high end), Maui (performance), Iceland (mainstream), and Tonga (entry level).
