And it's gonna be a monster. Should be capable of 1gh/mh. Projected retail is $599, so better start saving up your pennies  |

Even in the event that an attacker gains more than 50% of the network's
computational power, only transactions sent by the attacker could be
reversed or double-spent. The network would not be destroyed.

But maybe for some scrypt-based alt it will still have a use for mining at some level ... at least enough to give you justification for ordering one. |

I had read that AMD is planning to skip the 8xxx series naming for desktop cards (only use them for OEM chips in laptop graphics, etc) and would go directly to the 9xxx series for desktop graphics card products. The 9970 is supposed to have 4096 stream processors and I think should do 1.2 GH/s.

I agree it seems soon considering 7990 release. Then again 7990 really is a very small amount of their sells i bet. |

Until it breaks the price point of 7950 ($300 for ~620kh), I won't be interested.

There is one rumor of next gen AMD cards (not sure if 8xxx or 9xxx) saying that they will have 4096 stream processors, but that would be based on the 20nm process which would only be available as soon as Q4 2013 - Q1 2014. This would be great for mining, and it would also me a massive performance boost all around.
Another rumor is 2306 stream processors up in the next few months based on the 28nm fab process to compete with the 7xx series. This wouldn't be a great option for mining, but it would drive the existing cards prices down a little bit which is good.
We should find out more this week during computex.

I watched 7990 forever. I feel they don't release much info until most of cards of previous generation are sold. Granted they have done ton's of promotions to have free games with purchases... so who knows i hope they do release it just to view specs. But i think we will hear about it a while before its released. |

I read that too but it makes no sense. Mobile chips have always been identified as having an m. For example 7970m. |

If AMD want to sell more GPUs they should take Butterfly Labs up on their offer to sell chips in bulk and plop an ASIC on the GPU board. http://www.coindesk.com/butterfly-labs-says-bulk-chip-sales-to-start-soon/I'm starting that rumor! I've always found 2x7850 more power efficient and cost effective than anything else, so I'm just looking forward to the 8850/9850  |

Expect end of year, or close to it. I don't see GPU mining being worthwhile at that point. I predict alt coins will not pick up the slack. Even litecoin isn't worth much anymore.
