I agree with DM, i cant see Hotchips as the release for the cards, it will be announced earlier imho.

They are losing customers daily, they have a ton of bad press at the moment, lots of negative news etc, i think AMD cant rush this product out the door fast enough to try and generate some positive news for their company.

Skeptical me thinks that the supposed "Leaked" AMD cpu info with those slides, if true, is probably an AMD move to generate some buzz
 
FFS it's not the launch.

It's still June. Hot Chips is merely going to be an update on their new technologies which is a yearly event.

Hotchip's event will probably be a rally point for new AMD CPU tech, not GPU.

I will be shocked if the 390X does not debut around Computex.

At this point June = pretty concrete

Only way it could get any more solid is if AMD said something.

There's never been a better time to play games on PC. Gaming-capable hardware is inexpensive, digital distribution has given us unprecedented access to a huge range of games, and publishers have finally recognized that reports of its demise as a viable platform were ludicrously exaggerated. And soon the PC will have its own celebratory event during E3 week, with the first-ever PC Gaming Show, presented by AMD and put together by, well, us.
"The PC Gaming Show embodies the spirit of innovation, openness and community that's part of our DNA—delivered by gamers, for gamers," AMD Corporate Vice President and General Manager of Computing and Graphics Matt Skynner said. "The time is right for a PC-focused event in the week of E3 and we're honored to be part of bringing the industry together."
Hosted by Sean "Day[9]" Plott, the PC Gaming Show at E3 will feature appearances by Dean Hall of DayZ fame, Cliff Bleszinski of Boss Key Productions, and developers from studios including Blizzard, Bohemia Interactive, Cloud Imperium Games, Tripwire Interactive, Square Enix, Obsidian, Paradox, Devolver Digital and the Humble Bundlers, with more to be announced.
"We’re living in a golden age of PC gaming, but unlike other platforms the PC has no format holder, no marketing department, and—until now—no event during E3 week purely devoted to it," added Tim Clark, global editor-in-chief at PC Gamer. "We think a show like this, which brings together people from every corner of PC gaming to celebrate the exciting things happening, is long overdue. We hope you’ll join us, in person or on stream, to be part of it."
The PC Gaming Show will take place on June 16 at the Belasco Theater in Los Angeles, and will of course be livestreamed on Twitch. Find out more at PCGamingShow.com.

Must be announcing/showing off something then, surely?:p
 
PC gaming hosted by AMD, thats going to be Mantle type titles then lol. Also that bit about PC gaming being "inexpensive" obviously they havent seen High end PC prices.

Console gaming is inexpensive, not PC gaming. £300 for a console, £300 for a PC will buy you a half decent GPU at the higher end of things and thats all.

The majority of PC gamers aren't doing it on high-end PCs. You can build a good PC for not much more than a console and get real 1080p at 60fps. And most of the price difference can be made up just by taking advantage of the cheaper games on PC.

High-end gaming is expensive but then people spending £400+ aren't really interested in value for money IMO.

PC gaming is cheaper than console gaming by far. (Nobody needs to by the highest end parts).

You can put together a 1080P gaming PC for peanuts, then consider that PC games are nearly half the price of console version. Over the course of a year you actually spend more on console gaming. Over 2-3 years you would save far far more.

PC gaming at entry level has never been so cheap, with console games coming to PC and costing far less. Yes PC gaming is now inexpensive.

OT - the entry to console gaming is cheap, but the games aren't. Like getting into a nightclub for a quid and then finding all the drinks are 9 quid each.
 
Not to mention that chances are you need a PC anyway for work/studies/leisure. So by adding onto the cost of that what you would have spent on a console you've suddenly got a very capable PC.
 
If you were to buy a machine that could play at console settings it wouldn't cost a great deal. £300 for a GPU for anyone but enthusiasts and people who fancy themselves pro gamers is overkill really. I have seen relatively cheap APU set-ups which will play games to an adequate enough standard for most.

Sure consoles are a cheaper initial investment but what you spend extra on the PC, you will save after purchasing a handful of AAA titles and online subscriptions. Accessories like game pads and headsets can be had for literately a few quid for PC and there are thousands of well made games available free to play on steam and various other PC platforms.

I would say the cost of PC gaming is relative to what you are looking to get from it and that AMD offer a number of ways to game whether it is on a pricey high end GPU or a entry level APU.
