Is there a website that streams GDC presentations?

Yeah the AMD one right below your post but other than that, nothing for the presentations themselves (since those are paid entry). I'm monitoring google alerts, intel, amd, nvidia, gccftech, cdc, engadget and a few other twitter accts. One of them will spill the beans.

Nice to see that the hope is still going after 9to5mac post, I must admit that I more or less lost it ..
And in fact preparing myself to buy a 2015 one at a "good" price
But let's still hope !!
 
AMD should announce something about the Razer Core, XConnect and Polaris (for those who believe Apple will still use dGPU).

I didn't realize Intel only introduced the Broadwell NUC in the middle of GDC 2015 last year so, we may have to wait until Wednesday for it to happen again at GDC 2016.

Wait, If the chips for 13inch are being used by other manufacturers and on sale, there is a good chance that we will at least see the 13 inch next week and 15 inch in may or june
 
They will most possibly show the score from SteamVR benchmark test on Polaris 10, announce when the GPUs will be coming to market and thats all.
 
still we will get a sense if polaris will make a difference if apple will put into the 15" MBP
and that means it should be over 30-40% more powerful than Hd 580

And that the current 13" is considered a March '15 model, while the MacBook is April '15 and the 15" is a May '15 model. Ok. Waiting for my blue 13" Pro next week.

Blimey this AMD Capsaicin event is a car crash - that was the whole demo of Polaris? This is more of a korma than vindaloo so far. Some details of the Radeon Pro Duo.

I know that I will overhype everything right now, but...

AMD demoed Polaris 10 GPU, that is supposed to be less than 75W, laptop GPU with new Hitman game. Demo was running in 1440p, at 60FPS constantly.

Sweet mother of god.

Looks like I was wrong. This was demo of bigger GPU, Polaris 10. At CES they have shown Polaris 11 which is smaller, and less powerful.

So this is supposed to be 232 mm2 125W GPU. Still impressive.

This one is 256gb with no external graphics.

Well if that's the priority then why not just get a cheap mid-2012 - 2014 with external graphics?

I just can't see the reason in spending $2000 for a laptop that would give you just as good performance as one you can spend $1200-$1500 on.

Yes, what a bust.

Just like that Intel CES circus.
