What's interesting about AMD's strategy here is that it's somewhat copying what Intel is trying to do with its Core i3, i5, and i7 series of processors: trying to simplify the GPU family. By dividing the new series of GPUs into entry-, mid-, and high-level GPUs, AMD can effectively target each level of consumers. I am also interested in seeing how these new GPUs will perform. 1200 stream processors, the large bandwidth, coupled with DX11, the combination of the 3 can produce some astounding and unpredictable results. But I am hoping that they will be absolutely amazing results also. We will have to see who takes the first step: AMD or NVidia. This will be an interesting race. Cheers! Interesting read.
