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).
