New, and rather weird, rumors about AMD's Polaris cards:

Since AMD is going to introduce their new products, they already have two under production and ready to unveil to consumers. Benchlife reveals that the Polaris 10 GPU which is codenamed “Ellesmere” is going to be featured on the Radeon R9 480 series graphics boards. These graphics boards will feature TDP around 100W (110-135W) and as demonstrated at Capsaicin, will have no trouble running latest DirectX 12 titles at 1440P with stable 60 FPS.

The other GPU, Polaris 11 which is codenamed Baffin will be an even less power hungry chip replacing the Radeon R7 370 series. This graphics board will have a TDP of under 50W and is already revealed to be very efficient compared to 28nm counterparts. It’s obvious to point that AMD is strictly eyeing huge efficiency improvements with their Polaris GPUs which will lead them to deliver great solutions across the PC market (Desktops and Notebooks).

The last interesting topic we are covering today is also about the Polaris 11 GPU. The website LaptopMedia has already got hands on a laptop which features an early Polaris 11 GPU sample. From the looks of it, the Polaris 11 based notebook they received is not high-end but a low to mid-range model based on its specifications and comes with the brand new GCN 4.0 GPU we know as Polaris 11 that was already demonstrated on desktops.

 

Honestly, I'm just posting this for the lulz, because I don't believe it at all. Well, except the laptop part, that may or may not be true.
