AMD Radeon HD 7400M, HD 7500M, and HD 7600M Released
Over the week, AMD launched three of the first notebook GPUs in the Radeon HD 7000 series in a bid to stay competitive in the notebook GPU market, even if it means re-branding already launched GPUs like NVIDIA did, with its recent GeForce 600M series launch. The newly [re]launched mGPUs include Radeon HD 7400M, HD 7500M, and HD 7600M. The three are based on current-generation Caicos and Turks GPUs.
The HD 7400M is based on the "Caicos" silicon, featuring 160 stream processors, 8 TMUs, 4 ROPs, and a 64-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface. The HD 7500M and HD 7600M are based on the "Turks" silicon, the HD 7500M features 480 stream processors, 24 TMUs, 8 ROPs, and 64-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface (more economical with lower number of memory chips, while offering the same performance as 128-bit DDR3); while the HD 7600M features all the features of the HD 7500M, including the full 128-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface.

I was hoping a report from Charlie on 24 Aug would somehow missed it's mark.
AMD’s 28nm mobile lineup leaked too
"AMD’s 28nm line consists of three ASICs, supplemented on the low end by 40nm part, but who cares about those?"
8800-9800-250 anyone? :nutkick:
how about GF2-GF4MX series (GF2 GTS Pro and Ultra Variants superior to those though)

AMD fanboys can troll, but I can't?
And this relaunch IS A BAD THNG in my opinion, because it means all the *new* laptops designed now and launched in Q1.12 and Q2.12 will be using these, aka last generation. It means we are going to have to wait until Q3.12 until we get a material change in power/performance in laptops. THAT SUCKS
Modular GPUs in laptops, just like SODIMM or HDDs would be nice
Don't get me wrong I don't agree in re-branded GPU's in the high end segment as people can actually use the extra rop,shaders, etc.
If you want the closest you can get to a modular GPU, the APUs are the answer to that. Trouble is, you are then limited on CPU upgrade options.
