More news and rumors about Fiji.

What was only a rumor, although that seemed legit, has now been proven correct. A leaked driver has confirmed the rebranding of some R9 2XX series cards to the new 3XX series. The R9 285, 290 and 290X will come back

That's not surprising, and it's not even bad news as they could simply be rebranded as the R9 370, 380 and 380X.

The problem comes from the ASUS forums (although I still have to see a link that proves it), that has listed new cards, including:

• ASUS R9390X-DC2-8GD5
• ASUC-2GD5S  STRIX-R9380-O
• ASUS  STRIX-R9370-OC-4GD5
• ASUS  STRIX-R7360X-DC2OC2-2GD5
• ASUS  R7360-2GD5

If 390X is Fiji, and Fiji only has 4GB of HBM, how can they list an 8GB variant? Well, it could be that the 390X is Hawaii based like the 290X, not Fiji, and because of that, it will ship with 8GB of GDDR5. Meanehile, the Fiji cards with HBM will have a special name and will compete with TitanX.

Ugh, I hate rebrands. Werent some of those cards already rebrands of the 7000 series? Ill update the OP with your contribution.

Yes, they were rebrands.

HD 7970 GHz Edition => R9 280X
HD 7950 => R9 280
HD 7870 => R9 270X
HD 7850 => R9 270

But keep in mind that they could get higher stock speeds thanks to a more mature 28nm process and refinements on its design, we'll see.

Edit. By the way, I forgot to post the links to those news! The yare from wccftech and videocardz:
