AMD makes casino machines?

Alright, thanks for the info.

If the listing is correct, of a 390x with 8gb memory, then it looks like it won't be the HBM card. It would follow that AMD will have an answer to the Titan line.

Yes, those 8GB and the "GD5" naming point to a GDDR5 card.

Now the question is if AMD will save Fiji and HBM for a Titan X killer card (a user on another forum called it Zeus, because Zeus defeated the Titans ), and the driver leaks all but confirm that the 290/290X will be rebranded as 380/380X, what will be inside those 390 and 390X cards?

I think that AMD will go for a Hawaii chip with the improvements made with the 285's Tonga, a 2GB card that competed replaced the 3GB 280 card offering roughly the same performance while using less power. With those improvements and refinements, AMD could afford to add the extra 4GB and slighly bump the frequencies making them a lot closer to Nvidia's 980.

Or AMD is trolling us and has managed to make an 8GB HBM Fiji card .

And a new leak has come. Ladies and gentleman, I present you the supposedly Fiji GPU:

If true, 4GB are all but confirmed.

Also, many users have tried to calculate how big the die is, and while the results vary, all points to a chip close to 600mm^2. It's huge.

Youre always on point with the leaks! I wish I could transfer thread ownership to you. Think the mods can get the db guy to do it?

I don't think it's possible to do it, and I don't want to. It's your thread and it's my pleasure to post some of the things I find around.

Ok, two more rumors about Fiji, and one of them is bad.

Rumor1

AMD Radeon R9 Fury X will be the watercooled, HBM-based flagship card

AMD to announce the Radeon R9 Fury X and Fury, the HBM-based cards - not just the R9 390X

Up until this point, most people have presumed that AMD would be launching the Radeon R9 390X as its upcoming flagship video card, but we have just had an anonymous source tell us that this is wrong.

Instead, the Radeon R9 Fury X will be the flagship video card, a watercooled part based on the Fiji XT GPU. Under that, we'll have the Radeon R9 Fury, which should be based on the Fiji PRO architecture, with an entire restack of current cards. Under these two new High Bandwidth Memory-powered video cards we'll have the Radeon R9 390X, Radeon R9 390, Radeon R9 390, R9 380, R7 370 and R7 360.

The Radeon R9 Fury X will be a reference card with AIBs not able to change the cooler, but TweakTown can confirm that it will be the short card that has been spotted in the leaked images. The Radeon R9 Fury will see aftermarket coolers placed onto it, so we should see some very interesting cards released under the Radeon R9 Fury family.

Rumor2 *read note below*

AMD’s Radeon R9 ‘Fury X’ / Fiji XT GPU Currently Slower Than The Geforce GTX 980 Ti

http://wccftech.com/amd-radeon-r9-fury-fiji-xt-gpu-slower-gtx-980-ti/

Computex 2015 is in full swing over at Taipei and we have received multiple reports that AMD has demonstrated the Fiji XT flagship, rumored to be called the Fury X GPU, to its partners. The interesting news is however that in its current state – the Radeon R9 Fury X GPU does not beat the GTX 980 Ti in terms of gaming performance. Do note however, that this is a prototype product and AMD is still working on improving the card.

**note**

After posting this rumor I tried to find the origin of this and it is hardwareluxx, which looks to be the source of the die pic. This is what the original article says:

"Clock speeds of GPU and memory were sadly not betrayed. The cards also can't run in their current form, as no BIOS is present. It can therefore only be switched on, but no image will appear on a screen."
...
"The partner did hint at the performance. Apparently the Radeon Fury X ought to be slower than the GeForce GTX 980 Ti. Currently, AMD is still trying to optimize higher clock rates and is making adjustments to the driver's performance."

http://www.hardwareluxx.com/index.php/news/hardware/vgacards/35572-computex-amd-fiji-aka-fury-x-slower-than-geforce-gtx-980-ti.html

What that probably means is that the Fiji card is an engineering sample, not the final product.  Because of that, the performance is still up in the air. Even wccftech has an update on their article:

Our sources close to AMD have reported that any reports of performance issues at this time are pointless. We have concrete confirmation that the GPU will launch at E3 – so we have something to look forward to very soon and will get a chance to see its final performance as well.

OK, call me a low-power hipster, but for me the bad news is watercooling!

Also, to post something that is not only GPU related, AMD also revealed their new Carrizo APUs. No reviews yet, but we have some details

http://www.anandtech.com/show/9319/amd-launches-carrizo-the-laptop-leap-of-efficiency-and-architecture-updates

Sometimes a name can inspire change. Carrizo isn’t one of those names, and when hearing the words ‘AMD’s notebook processor’, those words have not instilled much hope in the past, much to AMD’s chagrin no doubt. Despite this, we come away from Carrizo with a significantly positive impression because this feels more than just another Bulldozer-based update.

If you can say in a sentence ‘more performance, less power and less die area’, it almost sounds like a holy trifecta of goals a processor designer can only hope to accomplish. Normally a processor engineer is all about performance, so it takes an adjustment in thinking to focus more so on power, but AMD is promising this with Carrizo. Part of this will be down to the effectiveness of the high density libraries (which according to the slides should also mean less power or more performance for less die area) but also the implementation of the higher bandwidth encoder, new video playback pathway and optimization of power through the frequency planes. Doubling the L1 data cache for no loss in latency will have definite impacts to IPC, as well as the better prefetch and branch prediction.

Technically, on paper, all the blocks in play look exciting and every little margin can help AMD build a better APU. It merely requires validation of the results we have been presented along with a killer device to go along with it, something which AMD has lacked in the past and reviewers have had trouble getting their hands on. We are in discussions with AMD to get the sufficient tools to test independently a number of the claims, and to see if AMD’s Carrizo has potential.
