What's clear here is that AMD is effectively rebranding the Radeon HD 7950 Boost card to the R9 280

Indeed. Hardly worth an 'unleash' descriptor in the title ;)

OK, just for you, I'm going to change it to 'announces' :P

If it's the same price here in the UK, I will skip this and grab the x version for ~£15 more, once the coin miners stop hogging all the cards and let the prices go back down to acceptable levels.

This is the big problem with the 280x, there is just no stock of them around in the UK for a recommended retail price.
