This short term decision look too a bit strange, as AMD have lower price and offer good bundle for the HD7000 series, and so there's not really a need for a card like that.Īs was point someone, as AMD is now on the lead on all benchmarks parts, this card could well be just extremely limited in quantity, to clean stock and keep their cards on the top of the benchmark list on all level. The 7950 standard are disappear vs the 7950 Boost edition, so there's a bit of place between 7870 OC and 7950, but still both cards are realy close. Still the question is to know if the card will pack 1.5-3gb or a more exotic 2gb memory setup ( exotic due to the memory controller of Thaiti sku who is a 384bits memory controller ). The card based on Thaiti core should pack 1536 SP and end faster of a 7870 OC. Stay on good place against Nvidia competition cards. This will permit to AMD to clean Thaiti cores before launch the HD8970-8950, the end of the year and christmas holliday approach, and like we will not see a midrange HD8870 before 4-5months ( maybe even more ) The card is similar of what we had expect appear as a HD 7930 back in the start of this year, but applying the same technic of Nvidia by pushing it in the midrange card lineup ( as is the GTX660 TI using GK104 ).Ĭould well be the case, even if i will not bet my house on it.

Not in the market for it though, I think it's just to wet our appetites before the real news comes out - the HD8000 series.Īt a guess, just an assumption based on the HD8000 series rumours, this new interim card may be called the HD7930.? (based on the rumour of the HD8930).

Sucks that the main site was down, would have liked to have read that
