After they scrapped the 285X, nothing until Q1 2015 nothing if the rumors are true.

AMD isn't in a very healthy position. 

Their next line of GPUs better blow the socks off otherwise they just got conroe'd in graphics division ... 

Your talking about the people who decimated the Titan a year ago.  They are waiting for 20nm and they clearly can wait because their 1 year old GPU's are still competitive with Maxwell.

Look up the leaks on the 390X.  It should be around twice as strong as a 290X.
