If that 7950 doesn't require a MIR then that is a hell of a deal for $239.

Last week, the twin frozr was $199, but I'm guessing those deals are gone now. :(

AMD has recently updated its product roadmap and is set to release its Hawaii-based GPUs at the end of September, Kaveri-based APUs for the high-end segment and Kabini-based APUs for the entry-level segment in the first quarter of 2014, according to sources from the upstream supply chain.
AMD has declined to comment on unannounced products.
The Kabini-based APUs will adopt the Socket ST3 for notebook applications and the Socket FS1B for desktop applications. The APUs will enter mass production in February 2014 and be announced in March 2014.
The Kabini-based APUs will have power consumption of 25W and AMD will release two quad-core models, A4-5350 and A4-5150, as well as a dual-core model E1-2650.
The Kabini-based APUs for desktop applications were originally scheduled to release in the second half of 2013, but have now been rescheduled for March 2014. Kabini's successor, Beema, will also be rescheduled for launch in the second half of 2014 or the first half of 2015, adopting the FS1B socket and Heterogeneous Systems Architecture (HSA).
AMD's FM1 and AM3 sockets will start phasing out in mid-2013 and the end of 2013, respectively. By the end of 2013, Socket AM3+ processors will account for 30% of AMD's total processor shipments, while Socket FM2-based processors will account for the remaining 70%.
In 2015, for the desktop market, AMD will release Carrizo-based APUs, featuring Excavator architecture with two power consumption specifications: 45W and 65W. The company will also release Nolan to replace Beema.
I think I am going to sell my 7970 and 7870 while I still can. I will just make due with this 660 until Sept/Oct.
Also, if AMD is going strictly APU this next time around then I may have to jump on Intel's nutts finally.

Man... You have everything I want 
If the 9970 is around $500 like the 7970 was, I'm probably going to buy one. I still need to upgrade my power supply, and eventually this 955

9990 or bust

Counting the one in my PC I currently have 3 8350s. About to be back down to two though.

I wish they wouldn't do this but glad they are making the push for APUs. I love APUs and the idead of them. The whole bottleneck comes slow system RAM, we wont see real improvements until DDR4.

I want that 8350, but I have some other upgrades I want to do.
1) Power Supply
2) Monitor
3) 9970 (wait for more info about this)
4) New case (still in deciding, want to go ITX, but may stick with smaller ATX to keep my sabertooth)
5) 8350
The 8350 will give me a minor performance boosts in most games I play, so I'm holding out on the processor upgrade for now. Unless we do our e-peen competition then I'll need to upgrade NOW
