Is there any actual information in this thread, have tried reading it but it just seems to be a few sensible people saying "just leave it", a few non-sensible people saying "you can't handle the truth" and a few inbetweeners saying "so?" mixxed with the odd trolling accusation.

Is that it?

Radeon 7850 equivalent is likely pretty accurate and nothing wrong with that for a home console. What were people expecting? Except it's likely based on 8000 series architecture/die shrinks but equivalent in power to a 7850. Really not sure what is so disappointing?

Do we all want another £400 console that overheats and sounds like a jet engine? Nope, do we want a Wii-U? Nope, we want something in between thank you. (but still way more powerful than a Wii-U GPU which the 7850 definitely is.


The 8850 is the same gpu as the 7850, its rebranded. PS4 is rumoured to have 7900M which is inbetween 7850 and 7870. The WiiU has a e6760.

If PS4 rumors about the 7900M and 4GB GDDR5 ram are true, the graphical difference between PS4 and WiiU will be as big as an entire console gen.

The HD8000 you see right now are just OEM version,retail version coming Q2 and it's not rebranded

Of course maybe HD8000 retail will change name to HD9000,hard to say

Don't count on it, both amd and nvidia have released rebranded gpus in the past.
