Nah!

They will just bundle it with a chiller. Although that will make it the most expensive non-pro graphics card ever.


Nah. They could use the 290X if they wanted.
What would happen however is that the chips used would have to be binned for the lowest possible leakage so they could get away with the lowest possible voltages to fit inside the TDP target.
Plus they could lower the clockspeeds too, which would be similar to how the Radeon 6990 played out.

If they have to lower the clock speeds and carefully choose the viable chips, it would be easier (and probably with the same result) to use the chips for the 290, don't you think?

But I wonder how it would be called. R9-299X? Or R10-290?
