"Most of the secrets surrounding AMD's latest series of mobile graphics chips have beenknown for a while now, but that didn't stop the company from making everything official today. Intended for traditional laptops and ultrathins alike, the Radeon HD 8000M series supports DirectX 11.1 and stands as the first of the company's mobile GPUs to incorporate theAMD Graphics Core Nextarchitecture. The lineup consists of the Radeon HD 8800M, HD 8700M, HD 8600M and HD 8500M. The chip manufacturer announced that the Radeon HD 8000M series has already been incorporated into products from ASUS and Samsung --no surprises here-- and also let it be known that we can expect similar offerings from Dell, Lenovo and other OEMs in short order.

Rounding out the GPU announcements from AMD, the company also took the opportunity to crow that its Radeon HD 8000 series for desktops is now en route to OEM partners. What's more, we can expect desktop rigs with this technology to begin arriving on store shelves later this month.

2-3months depending on how fast they are ramping production and how much capacity they get/have.

Think i'll be waiting for the 8000 series to come out before upgrading. My 460 can last another couple months.

Yes and no. The original launch target, once the 28nm delay happened, was late Q1 '13. Currently the talk is of an early Q2 launch since CNY is something you always need to account for.

Cool. I look forward to the release of the HD8000 series desktop cards. I will be upgrading this generation. Just not sure if it will be to a GTX 700 or one of these.

Damn, I guess it's time for me to sell my 7970

Waiting for Intel Haswell + AMD Radeon HD 8790M (35 watts) combo to replace my 2010 DELL laptop. It's about time AMD dumps the old VLIW5 Radeon HDs.

7870M (based on desktop 7770) gets renamed into 8870M. Some GCN V1.x gets renamed.
