In today's episode of "When the f*ck will AMD launch its next cards?" we have more leaks, both new and old benchmarks (real or fake, I don't know) and MSI.
1-MSI teases its Fiji card
You can tell it's a MSI card because the shroud seems to be a bit rounder on the edges (compare it to the previous image) and because it has the MSI logo on the bracket.
2-AMD Radeon 300 Series Graphics Roadmap (2014-2015) Leaked
http://videocardz.com/56205/amd-radeon-300-series-roadmap-leaked
A few things to note from the article:
"We can clearly see this slide has different fonts than other official slides we used to see from AMD. In fact, I can’t remember AMD using Arial and Open Sans."
With that in mind, everything else is questionable, but we can see the codename of the new cards
- Fiji (new)
- Grenada (previously known as Hawaii)
- Antigua (previously known as Tonga)
- Trinidad (previously known as Curacao or Pitcairn)
- Tobago (previously known as Bonaire)
- Oland (unchanged)
Also: "The slide however does not mention ‘Fury‘ branding in any place. It also seems that entry-level parts (R7 350/340) could be exclusive to OEMs, while keeping retail channel simplified and easy to follow."
Also, note that the slide seem to point that the two Fiji cards will launch a bit later than the rest of the 3xx series. That goes along the rumor about the 3xx series launching on the 18th with the Fiji cards launching on the 24th.
3-Benchmarks

I'm affraid that this is technical stuff that only a few (possibly only Tachi), will understand and will be able to use to take conclusions.
Anyway, a few months ago a SiSoft benchmark was leaked with what looked to be the new AMD card, but as far as I can remember no one could verify or refute them, but it was the first time we had some numbers to make guesses like how many CUs could it have and how many SPs: 64CU and 4096SP. This was that benchmark: http://www.sisoftware.eu/rank2011d/show_run.php?q=c2ffccfddbbadbe6deedd4e7d3f587ba8aacc9ac91a187f4c9f9&l=en
Now a new benchmark from compubench, that measures OpenCL performance, has been leaked, verifying some of the tech aspects of the firt benchmark, namely the 64CUs and 4096SP.

The only thing I get from them is that Fiji is faster than TitanX on some tests and slower than even a GTX 980 (non Ti) on others.
