That's just what we need, a comparison with a 650M GS.

So true. Why not compare with the 7970M grrrr

It looks like the low end discrete cards will finally be GCN based too I suspect.

The GPU pictures for the 8500M,8600M and 8700M look distinct from Cape Verde which is in the HD7700 series:

I wonder if the next AMD IGPs will have 384 GCN shaders??

Here are the only couple of slides that seem to give us any relatively sensible comparison to current tech

make of them what you will

 

[Martini1991]

Comparing an 8770M with a 7670M, I'm loving the conclusions we can draw from that

 

[Tonester0011]

Silly comparisons, but good news i guess?
Shouldn't be too long before the real cards come :L

 

[Meaker]

So few design wins with the 7800M series, maybe we will actually see the chip with the 8800M series.

 

[ubersonic]

So the 8800M is the replacement for the 7700M, the 8700M is the replacement for the 7600M/7500M and the 8600M is the replacement for the 7400M. Way to keep the numbering scheme consistent AMD >.>

The odd thing is that the are two 8x00 series above the 8800M series, what are they planning there? the 8900M and the 81000M/8X00M? lol

Eww those horrible graphs that don't start at 0.

GCN Architecture is the way forward, we seen it with the 79xx series,& the improved Catalyst drivers, but it has taken time to mature.
AMD has finally got into it's stride now with GNC, & we will the benefits in the next generation of cards, both mobile & desktop.

Will it really come out in Q1? Probably not...
