Lenovo spills beans with AMD Radeon HD 8950 3GB card
Lenovo is showing the Erazer X700 at the Consumer Electronics show. It is a new gaming desktop PC that will be released in June for around $1,499. One of the interesting things is that the specification sheet of this gaming PC lists the yet-to-be-released AMD Radeon HD 8950 3GB graphics card as one of the system's configuration options. Other features of the system include an Intel Core i7 Extreme series processor, up to 16GB DDR3, various HDD storage options, a Blu-ray drive and DVD burner, optional 7.1 channel surround audio, 802.11b/g/n WiFi, USB 3.0, and a 9-in-1 memory card slot.
The system can be configured with dual-graphics, it supports up to dual NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 or up to dual AMD Radeon HD 8950. The latter model is expected to be introduced later this quarter.
Two options: with NVIDIA SLI of two GeForce GTX 660's or AMD’s Crossfire with two Radeon HD 8950's. Furthermore we learn that it will have 3GB of memory, which means it will have the same frame buffer as its predecessor Radeon HD 7950.
This is actually all we know for now, so our need for more valid information will have to wait. What we do expect however is a new 28nm GPU with the updated Graphics Core Next technology. What has been said for now is that it may have up to 2048 Stream processors, but if that’s not the case, then we might see at least more raster operating units.

I don't understand how this kid is still not banned when 90% of his posts are like this?
Who cares?
They're doing just fine by gpu department, 7000 will continue to sell like 6000 series did when first 7000 leaks appeared.
Uh, AMD's GPU department managed to net $18M in profit Q3 2012. That's literally nothing. The company lost $157m and projected another 9% for Q4. No department in AMD is doing "just fine". They are all failing pretty miserably, hence why they laid off most of the key people in the GPU department along with 15% of the workforce.

AMD being fine, or not in red is not even a matter of discussion. But here it goes:
The Altman Z-Score is a formula used to measure risk of bankruptcy.
a score below 1.81 is considered to be a distress zone.
AMD: -0.206
AMD is well below the cutoff for the distress zone.
Who cares?
They're doing just fine by gpu department, 7000 will continue to sell like 6000 series did when first 7000 leaks appeared.
What kind of an argument is "6000 continued to sell"?
GTX 480 also "continued to sell"
That's not to say it wouldn't sell much-much better if it wasn't hot and power hungry.
Q3 2012 (when AMD "continue to sell like 6000 series did when first 7000 leaks appeared")
AMD graphics division revenue - (minus) 15% compared to Q3 2011.
Same period comparison for NVDA +20%. So what gives? Other than their ridiculous, laid-off then rehired marketing team.
