So an OEM Radeon HD 8950 will be fundamentally different from a retail HD 8950?
I expected at least the new high-end chips to have GCN2.
Oh my, this is confusing
...and embarrassing. :/

I came up with the whole thing after reading the German news site 'heise.de'.
Mit einem neuen Tablet-Prozessor sowie zwei neuen APU-Generationen für Notebooks und Desktop-Rechnern will AMD den Abstand auf Intel verkürzen und in boomenden Marktsegmenten Fuß fassen.
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.
