    Dont get your hopes too high but they will probably smash in terms of price/performance ratio.

    I can't see anything on wiki that makes it look like that - can you explain?

    Re: AMD Radeon HD 8 series

    A 20% increase in performance seems a reasonable estimate IMHO. That would place the HD8870 at slightly below HD7970 level and the HD8850 at slightly below HD7950 level.

    Re: AMD Radeon HD 8 series

    in radeon hd 89xx - 5100 transistors , and bus width of 384 bit - it means amd has unleashed a monster in gpu and its a big competition for nvidia gtx 680 (in your face nvidia) ha !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    You are asking for an explanation from someone who uses more exclamation marks than I can count?

    Wonder if AMD will repeat what they did with the 7-series. Release at a high price and only bring it down when Nvidia catch up.

    Re: AMD Radeon HD 8 series

    The main point is when nvidia release a GPU with ok performance and which also eats money , which is when AMD steps up and gives a GPU with unbelievable performance and eats less money and everyone clearly knows more than me that the AMD FX processor achieved a Guiness World Record with a frequency of 8.429GHz where intel i7 has achieved only 7.102GHz .
    So to sum it up AMD Radeon HD 8 series will be unbeatable till 2014 .

    Re: AMD Radeon HD 8 series

    Yeah because frequency and transistor count and bus-width are the only things that matter.

    Please, you're giving AMD fans a bad name. Imagine I need convincing of the technical details and explain it clearly to me - at the moment, nVidia clearly wins the performance/watt metric, which is probably the key one. They also made great cards available for a not dissimilar price to AMDs initial prices. What makes you so sure the situation is going to change so dramatically with the 8000 series? Do you know some secret technological sauce?

    For the last few generations of GPUs I feel that they started to take smaller performance leaps, So I'm pessimistic towards any "it will destroy the competition" hype (whether it's for AMD or nvidia)

    Oh yeah and i will never give AMD a bad name & just because "nVidia" invented the GPU doesn't mean they are the best .

    Guess what. Both AMD and Nvidia make great graphics cards. They are both the "best" in different ways.
