Wait, what?

Didn't they say mid 2016?

It is supposed to be a mid-range product, not the flagship.

Still a 14nm GPU, it could be on par with a 970/980 while costing less

We will have to wait and see.

It looks more like they are comparing it to a 950 dude.

yeah, but that was with artificial framerate locks etc to make it look very low power.

not sure where in the product stack it will sit, but it will be low end, 960 replacement I imagine.

That one was a quite low end gpu for sure ( very low voltage, 850 MHz ) and just for an efficiency test

If they're going to release a midrange card ( 150-250$ ) it should perform much better

there was a misinterpretation.

David Ross Watson @Mageoftheyear @ryanshrout Can you clarify WCCFtech's claim: http://wccftech.com/amd-polaris/ they say you're saying first Polaris card will launch in two months :/

@Mageoftheyear Nope, confusion there. I meant that the GPU was brought up from production after just 2 months.

Just spotted this on my twitter feed. the article will be edited immediately.

Unfortunately these kind of misinterpretations happen, especially at times like these when a lot of people in the industry are so busy. CES is madness, especially for those like Ryan who are in the thick of it.

AMD don't make a 960

Sorry dude couldn't resist

I would be more impressed if it were a higher end part and still only used 50% of the 950's power, though. Mind you, let's be fair, GPUs working to a target of 60 FPS (for example) don't need to work anywhere near as hard as a GPU with Vsync off.

yup wasn't trying to call you out or anything just a heads up.

PS- happens.

That is fine, thank you for bringing this to my attention.

 

[NeverBackDown]

Isn't it obvious it's already in production?

 

[BigDaddyKong]

Not only was it in production, but it was used at a demo. I think some type of launch will happen pretty soon. I doubt we see high end, but please let me be wrong.

Couple of typos in recent articles, but that's because he's smashing out dozens of them at once

Yeah, had that in thought... didn't mean anything regarding it though, just got a bit lost when reading that as it sounded a bit off to me. That's all.

It is crunch time at the news factory, but I am trying my best to stay on top of it.

My keyboard is going to need a holiday.
