See here for more info:
Having 8k entire series be rebadges kinda puts "hd8k will be the first supported in open drivers on launch" in a new light ;)
The most scary thing being that they knew it would be rebadges many years ago already....
Seems like you're right.Quote:

Oh my, this is confusing

heise media has a good reputation and they usually don't publish junk.
The last paragraph might be a bit misleading when they say AMD announced the HD 8000 GPU line at CES
(not just the mobile ones). They continue mentioning that some OEM parts will ship first.
The GPUs announced so far are not the "next generation" hardware we have been talking about.
Will the "next generation" hardware be released with an 8xxx number too?
I think so...
That's pretty horrible, seeing as the rebadges span the entire range this time.
