How would Snowden get a hold of one of these in Russia? Maybe through an intermediary in Kazakhstan?

Then again it's hard finding one here even in the US since they all went out of stock within 5 minutes of being listed.

Wait, did the guy refuse to call AMD's 9070 by its official name out of spite there at the end? Is this a weird tech The Onion thing?

AMD, as usual, misses an opportunity here. The 5xxx series is exactly Fermi again (they even removed hotspot data so reviewers would miss the throttling). AMD could leverage the nostalgia of one of ATI's best gens and call the cards 9700 and 9700pro. Damn, those were the days. (since 4750 conflicts with current scheme)
