Looks like another 28nm monster.

Edit - and reading the news now, it should be. A whooping four years on 28nm. Naughty TSMC.

Although even Intel is now saying they'll take some three years to move from 14nm to 10nm... so yeah.

Those incompetents at Intel, TSMC has promised 10nm in 2016 and 7nm in 2017...

Ha! Like someone's going to believe them when they haven't been able to get their 20nm work and their 16nm is late as usual.

Regarding that rumor/news that I posted, it caused some debate with this pic

with quite a few people claiming that what was written on it was R9 380, not 390.

 

In any case, after the latest results from Q1, AMD had a Q&A session where she said this

Vivek Arya - Bank of America Merrill Lynch Got it. And then do you think PC gaming is a growing or a declining market? You mentioned that you expect some share games in the back half. What specifically do you think will help you regain that market share?

Lisa Su - President and CEO Yes. So thanks for the question, Vivek. That, I do believe PC gaming and gaming in general is a growth opportunity in the market and a growth opportunity for AMD. So as I look forward, we're launching Carrizo on the APU side and we're also launching some graphics products in the second half of this year. So I think from the standpoint of being able to capture more of the market and increase more to where our normal shares are in graphics, I think that's something that we believe we can make progress towards.

So there we have it. They may announce the 3XX series in June at Computex, but they won't launch them until at least July.
