AMD Rebrands Radeon HD 7000 Series GPUs to HD 8000 for OEMs

AMD Rebrands Radeon HD 7000 Series GPUs to HD 8000 for OEMs

Well, there you have it. The "Radeon HD 8950" that Lenovo's Erazer X700 ships with as reported earlier on yesterday, is based on rebranding previous-generation GPUs. The following slide was spotted at AMD's website, which lists the specs-sheets of nine OEM-exclusive Radeon HD 8000 series SKUs, which reveal them to be complete rebrands of their HD 7000-series counterparts.

 If you're into pre-built PCs, and planning to buy one soon, watch out what's crunching pixels in it (thanks TPU).

the peak difference between 7000 and 8000 will be ~25% at heavy tessellation

general improvement will be at 5~25% best due to newer optimizations...it's not big...they will just lock the improvements on old gcn and move them to gcn2...

in other words...the difference between 8970 and 7970 will be exactly as much as 5870 vs 6970...that's the leap forward this time...make your calculations now...

some games you will see differences of 5 fps on others up to 25fps more...that's it...the max difference between 8970 and 7970 will be 25fps and the min 5fps...

Well time to flash to 8970, whack a 3rd party cooler on and reap the profit on ebay in an oem box.

It is a move so that they make more money, but that is just a bad move, need to make better card's not change the names.
