AMD Radeon M400 series to be released in April

"Lenovo’s YOGA 510 notebooks will be first to come with Radeon M400 series on board as announced by the company in press release yesterday.

YOGA 510-14ISK notebook will ship with Radeon R5 M430 and YOGA 510-15ISK with R7 M460 graphics cards. The R5 430M is definitely a rebranded card, as for R7 M460 it is yet unclear. It is only said that M460 has 2GB memory on board. Both cards are paired with either Pentium or Skylake i7 CPUs.

According to Lenovo, both notebooks will be available in April for €480 or €700 EUR respectively, AMD Radeon M400 series should be made official by that time."

This brings a new question: will AMD's 400 series consist of rebranded products for OEM partners (DELL, HP, etc.), and use the 500 series for its new Polaris chips?

With both the specs for the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive out in the open, potential VR users might be interested to see how their system setups perform with SteamVR.

The performance test from Valve can be reached by going to this page, although people are reporting that this page will redirect to the main Steam Store. To solve this, people can use the following link to install the SteamVR performance test: https://steamdb.info/app/323910/"
