The Radeon HD 8000 series is a family of computer GPUs developed by AMD. AMD was initially rumored to release the family in the second quarter of 2013,^[9]^[10]^[11] with the cards manufactured on a 28 nm process and making use of the improved Graphics Core Next architecture.^[12] However the 8000 series turned out to be an OEM rebadge of the 7000 series (although Bonaire is a GCN 2.0 based chip, thus being of newer development).
