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).

I understand rebranding low end cards, but to call the 7970 a 8970 seems very dodgy..

Following the rebranding names, it has to be called 8970.
They do it all the time.

It's pretty normal and usually due to OEM pressures.
