What is this, could someone explain
AMD decided to go full ******ed with naming but on the other side they are releasing some new GPU's.
the highest end gpu R9 290x is more powerful then the Geforce titan but also way cheaper(I thought around 400 euro cheaper) so ya that is one the main reasons why most people are happy about this....THE GPU WAR IS COMING.
Better watch this explains it smoother: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtQCf_shktM
P.s Over_rated is not a AMD guy but it seems like even he is happy about this and maybe considering getting one of these O.o? -

Naming doesn't mean anything. It's just a class to separate GPU generations/lines. The new GPU is pretty nice. AMD is starting to see a comeback, but we'll see how nVidia will react. The 290x is AMD's currently most powerful card that is being released. Though the 7990 is still the fastest. As tweaks are made and OC's are finalized, nVidia may start working harder to stay in the race. In time will tell, what will happen to the GPUs. -

An 8-core CPU was pretty much useless. Don't need anything really beyond 6 cores for gaming lol. -

That is the old story, 2 a 4 cores were what most games could use.
But now with Mantle by AMD if the API of Mantle is build in to the game it can support up to 8 cores.
Mantle is something like DirectX
Yep it means DirectX won't be used by the games so instead the will use Mantle.
It is good imo since this will give Microsoft a reason to improve DirectX even more.
If AMD plays this out correctly they could take control.
DICE/Activision are already on the boat and probably more are gone follow.
