If you were anticipating that AMD’s upcoming Polaris 10 and Polaris 11 graphics chips would be delivering trail blazing performance, the latest statement will probably break your heart. However, for notebook owners as well as mainstream computer system owners, the story is going to be a little different thanks to the latest interview, where critical information was confirmed by AMD’s Roy Taylor.

Because Polaris 10 and Polaris 11 will be manufactured on the 14nm FinFET architecture, it means that these cards will be far from overpowered and by providing the public a nice price tag, these graphics chips will be able to deliver even higher performance than higher priced cards belonging to the previous generation architecture.

Previously, AMD’s graphics head Raja Koduri stated that Polaris 10 and 11 were premium flagship GPUs that were going to hit NVIDIA hard, who has been dominating the higher-ends of the GPU market. Now, we get to know that the upcoming graphics processors from AMD are actually going to target the mainstream market. Let us hope that there are no more surprises coming our way. We don’t thing that the PC gaming community will be able to fathom it.
