how is it a sub par GPU given it targets a specific segment (looking at it's price point, die area, memory & power envelope) with its configuration?

You're upset that they didn't aim for a halo GPU and I can understand that, but how does this completely rule out a mid to high end offering from them?

the 9000 series is reminiscent of nv10 versus vega10 GPUs like the 56, 64, even the Radeon 7; achieving equivalent performance for less power and hardware.
