Not an upgrade? Have you even seen the leaked stats.for the 88xx series? ~25% gains across the board even with better power management.
Yes I have seen them. Power draw will like 5% less. 7950 1792 shaders -> 8x50 2048 shaders (will be same as 7970 now). This actually means the following. For a performance increase of roughly 20% (thats higher clock included), you have to sell your 7950 for like 200 euro, and spend roughly 320 euro for a new card. Its 60% more money, for 20% increase. Not worth it if you ask me. Same situation with 7970, you will have a 30% increase there, but have to sell your card for 270 euro, and buy new one for 450 euro ... So for a gamer it might be an upgrade, for us? Not worth the money

I'm just gonna say it.
OMG ANOTHER DELAY? AMD IS A SCAM

lol.. The whole computer industry is a scam !
Do you really believe there is any true competition between AMD, Intel and Nvidia ?
They all cut their gpu/cpu chips from the same wafer !

Originally announced to be released Q2 2013 inline with the launch of Haswell (Intel's latest offering) both AMD and Nvidia have both decided to postpone their release until at least October.

Looks like we'll be waiting a while for 8970s :|
They most likely wont be worth the upgrade for 7 series users, seems theres nothing new there.
Is there a pre-order page with a no BS disclaimer?
I will only pre-order if refunds are a non-option. Quote

Looking at the structure of new GPUs, they are not going to be a huge difference, its more of a cosmetic upgrade if you ask me, similar to 5->6 series transition. Basicly those who have 7950/7970 will probably have to spend more to upgrade than the real performance upgrade.

Nobody paid them in advance..

Lets find their CEO and troll his Google+ page! And after that, we'll threaten to sue! OMG ANOTHER DELAY? AMD IS A SCAM
