kudos:7 | SemiAccurate rips internet "controversy" over AMD 8000 Line said by SemiAccurate :Please let the stupidity surrounding AMD’s Sea Islands (CI) end
Rant: The internet echo chamber goes in to full 'tizzy' mode over nothing
Most tech sites were in a bit of a tizzy last week over what AMD is releasing or not releasing in 2013. Unfortunately for those who were looking to froth at the mouth over something, it is all a tempest in a teapot.
What is AMD releasing for the Sea Islands (CI) line? Basically nothing worth bothering with. It is a mild tarting up of the Southern Islands (SI) GPUs just like we told you last October. In fact, we described the CI line as, “pretty ho-hum”, not exactly a ringing endorsement for a new line of high end GPUs now is it? And we also said that it was due in March, not 2012, but more recently inventory concerns have moved the official launch out a bit. I don't know about you guys, but nothing makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside on a cold morning like a writer taking it out on the "unwashed masses."
