AMD Radeon HD 8000 Series Appears, Codenamed: "Venus", "Oland" and "Mars"

AMD's latest beta drivers have an interesting surprise, they contain device IDs we haven't seen yet. Namely 16 new device IDs make an appearance, 4x "Venus", 3x "Oland" and finally 9x "Mars", which will form the AMD Radeon HD 8000 series. This new series will be a refresh of the current generation HD 7000 series and utilizes the same 28nm manufacturing process. Due in part to the LE, Pro, XT and XTX suffixes, a guess can be made that "Venus" may end up forming the HD 8900 series, meanwhile "Oland" will most likely form the HD 8800 series with "Mars" filling in the mainstream product segment. A hard release date is unknown just as there is no information on what to expect performance or specification wise, but a wise guess looking at past releases from AMD would make a late 2012, 2013 launch feasible.
