I really hope the R5 line-up is out for late April/early May. I could get one as a birthday present to myself.

Yeah I kinda figured they would do this. Fair enough I suppose

If they're smart they'll release the R5's (at lease) at the same time as Vega, giving people a good option for new gaming rig's

This is AMD, not exactly known for marketing chops.

Nevermind that; fingers crossed the hardware marks a return to pre-Bulldozer days re. CPU's, and keeps temps and power usage under control re. GPU's.

Ahh, that's a shame. I do wish all the benchmark comparisons would come out at the same time so we'd know where we stood, but I don't mind waiting another couple of months. It'll give me chance to save up a little more.

This sucks...
The 5 series is what I probably would have aimed for
