AMD confirms no HD 8000 series till Q4 2013

In a recent tweet AMD's marketing manager has confirmed that the company will not be releasing the much anticipated HD 8000 series of graphics cards this year, but instead will focus on the existing HD 7000 series. The HD 8000 series currently being advertised by OEMs is just a rebranding of the existing hardware with, presumably, minor clock speed bumps. The marketing campaign for the "Never Settle Bundle" will continue on.

The true HD 8000, it seems, won't be out till Q4 of this year as seen from the roadmap chart released on 4gamer. For the mean time AMD will be focusing instead on their 28nm GPU architecture which will be used in the upcoming next-gen consoles, most likely the PS4.

When I'm not burning up hardware in the name of science, you'll find me nuking in DOTA 2 or engineering in TF2.
