7790 avelible in the east?

[grgurbo]

Hello, I'am from Serbia, and I have noticed something very weird today, that you may find interesting. I was checking out hardware stores web pages, as I tend to do, and I have stumbled upon this http://www.google.rs/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=6&cad=rja&ved=0CF0QFjAF&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.emmi.rs%2Fgrafi%25C4%258Dke-kartice-(vga)-amd-radeon-7790-sapphire-oc-dual-x-1gb-ddr5-dvi-hd.11.html%3FproductId%3D32631&ei=G1E7UcuzCITltQbImYGwAQ&usg=AFQjCNGgdJguHt-YWmuK22nYg_acdz_XwA&sig2=tplHuYcqqgFzMjSUY75MYQ&bvm=bv.43287494,d.bGE , http://www.google.rs/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=4&cad=rja&ved=0CEsQFjAD&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.shopmania.rs%2Fgraficke-karte%2Fp-amd-radeon-7790-sapphire-oc-dual-x-1gb-ddr5-dvi-hdmi-dp-128bit-11210-2294351&ei=G1E7UcuzCITltQbImYGwAQ&usg=AFQjCNHzabmDJC31In2cOjvC5V-zdDLFag&sig2=E-YVc3YSBt10xdE-J76EAw&bvm=bv.43287494,d.bGE , http://www.google.rs/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=6&cad=rja&ved=0CF0QFjAF&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.emmi.rs%2Fgrafi%25C4%258Dke-kartice-(vga)-amd-radeon-7790-sapphire-oc-dual-x-1gb-ddr5-dvi-hd.11.html%3FproductId%3D32631&ei=G1E7UcuzCITltQbImYGwAQ&usg=AFQjCNGgdJguHt-YWmuK22nYg_acdz_XwA&sig2=tplHuYcqqgFzMjSUY75MYQ&bvm=bv.43287494,d.bGE . I was very impressed when I found out that it is not just one page, but three, I went to google to check out the benchmarks, but the only info I found there is that the card is probably going to come out on june. Do you know anything about this?

that is some 'new' chip it seems, probably what amd had in mind when they talked about the new 7000 series chips in that teleconference call couple of weeks ago.

now we need to google that bonaire to find out which family it would fit.. London, Southern Islands, Solar Systems or Sea Islands or something else
nice find

It's Solar System and it's supposed to launch in April. Guess those sites are just jumping the gun a bit with preorders?

bonaire is a caribbean island it seems....

edit wouldn't make sense for it to be solar system with a name like that... sea island maybe?

edit2 from that anadtech link

Is it virtually guaranteed (but not confirmed) that at least one of those products be the retail version of Oland. With 384 stream processors, Oland offers performance a step below the existing Cape Verde 7700 series parts and should give AMD the ability to deliver 7000 series functionality at under $100. At the same time, with at least one other Sea Islands GPU in the works, it’s also a strong likelihood that whatever new GPU AMD is introducing on the mobile side in Q2 will see an eventual desktop release in AMD’s H1 2013 timeframe. And to be very clear here, none of this is guaranteed, as AMD has made it clear that a new 7000 series desktop product does not necessarily mean a new GPU. But based on what AMD is saying and what AMD has committed to, Sea Islands is destined to get a retail desktop release.

The fact that these Sea Islands products will be released as 7000 series products is going to throw long-time readers a bit of a curveball, but as we’ve previously discussed Sea Islands is little more than new configurations of GCN1, so they will fit in nicely among the existing 7000 series products. For AMD’s part they believe the Radeon HD 7000 series is a very strong brand at retail – almost unbelievably having sold more 7900 cards in January 2013 than in any month prior – so as opposed to the OEM world where OEMs are driving rebadging and new product numbers, AMD wants to keep the 7000 series on the retail desktop in order to capitalize on their success. Labeling Sea Islands retail desktop parts as members of the 7000 series will allow AMD to introduce new products while still keeping the 7000 branding they’ve become so proud of.

This must be it, or at least one of them (not Oland but the other ones)

Yeah, but it's a GPU designed for the Solar Systems series (8000M) that they're putting into the retail desktop 7000 series as well. And the OEM desktop 8000 series.

 

[grgurbo]

Actually I've just noticed under winwin.rs page that it says that it is suppoused to arrive on 18th of march.

yeah from what I understood the the sea island and solar system are pretty much the same but one is for mobile and the other is for desktop, and obviously the desktop versions could be beefed up versions with higher TDPs...
