Lenovo spills beans with AMD Radeon HD 8950 3GB card

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.

AMD does it again.
This will undoubtedly help them with their bloated inventory? Possibly boost 7950 sales?

EDIT: Ok, I may have been too harsh. But AMD needs to get a better hold of their partners. Premature marketing DOES hurt current products.

Your previous bias does distract somewhat from a point you appear to be trying to make somewhere in that edited post.

Personally I don't think too much can be read into that amount of limited information. In fact it's next to nothing really.

Why do you say edited? Look, now it's edited again.
Fixing spelling and grammar in a post... Is that against code of conduct?

And please, instead of "my previous bias", I would rather if we discuss the issue at hand.

Thank you.

He does have a point though. Neither AMD nor their partners should be releasing information so far ahead of launch. It hampers sales of current products and diminishes resale value pre-maturely.

Their marketing department constantly shoots themselves in the foot by "leaking" information on new products months ahead of "official" announcements....which are always months ahead of the actual launch. The "official" announcement of a product launch should only be a few weeks ahead of a product launch and nothing should be getting "leaked" that could possibly hinder the sale of current products.

food for thought gurus, prepare your budget and mood

story: 5870 =< 480 , 6970 < 580

present and future: 7970 =< 680 , 8970 < 780

amd is not heading for high end gpu this time, they cannot..
their flagship : 8990 (as 6990 on the past)
