That means the R9 290X/295X becomes the hi-end buying choice for hi-end hacks...

 

Hi-end laptop hacks precisely ;)

 

AFAIK currently there's no R9 M295X laptop on the market, so iMac would be first launch of this GPU. Device ID in drivers exists since 1st Yose DP, so they worked on it for some time.

R9 M290 is just 7870 dressed in different clothes. Its BIOS is even editable in VBE 7 :)

Unless the article is inaccurate, the R9 290X - not the less powerful 290 - is listed as one of the new GPUs. I thought it was AMD's flagship to date. I have no doubts it would be the mobile version of it, in line with previous iterations of the iMac, but anyway.

Yeah, missed the "X". But if you'll look at specs, it's still apparently the good old Pitcairn chip (most likely the newer Curacao revision): http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-R9-M290X.108643.0.html

So more or less 7870 :)

 

P.S. Mini CPU is soldered since 2009 model, in current rev seems they soldered the RAM as well (jugding by LPDDR in specs).
