AMD teasing new product, is it Radeon or FirePro?

That's the reason I highly doubt we'll see cards this year. The contract win was announced on August 14th. Even if lets say the deal was agreed in July, they will need more than a few months to test out and refine the AIO design. I'm more convinced than ever that it will be a soft launch, but I hope I'm wrong.

Thats why they will announce it on Thursday for future release and announce price cuts to their current line ups 
An aio cooler doesn't need months to test, core is directly cooled, only part left is to lump contact onto vrms with a fan on top, it's a simple matter of measurement-unless Evga are involved with the design process...
I imagine coolers go through a bit more testing than that especially an AIO. Pump leakage, durability testing, safety testing, thermal performance, not things they're likely to be able to move from prototype to final in the space of two months on a different card/architecture, or at least I'd be very surprised.
Bare in mind the Asetek announcement of the deal even states the product is due for shipping first half of 2015
Anyway like I said I'd like for them to be released next week but I'd be very surprised if anything is launched this side of christmas.

In relation to performance or release?
Like I've been saying for release I expect Q1 2015. Performance? Well that's anyone's guess. I've got my 980 hopefully arriving today to tinker with until it comes out.
Both, its too soon.
I know what it is
its a blue n red pill to help you get over the 980/970 release sickness
I accidentally forgot to take mine and ended up getting a green pill off the street
Clearly a cut out for AIO cooling pipes.
yes, it has both water and air cooling, which tells you the card runs too hot in default !!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's yet another AMD 295X2 botch job
finally what happens if you want 390X Crossfire, because you'll need to find room inside your pc case for yet another radiator, sod that
are AMD trying to tell me that this mess of radiators and pipework is better for me than buying a small ``plug and play`` 970, that runs freezing cold via nothing more than Air............you figure this out AMD because this looks like FAIL FAIL FAIL.

AIO isn't exactly a new specific AMD design though, tried and tested previous to this cooler ages ago, vrms are rock hard quality products on AMD ref designs, keep the core cool enough vrms don't run as hot.
As humbug said, nothing is going to happen quick though.
I would imagine the 290 series awol performance driver might make an appearance in the coming months-48/58/69/79 series all had one.
Why all the hate for a aio water cooled graphics card? I just got a aio h110 for my cpu and it was the best thing iv ever done. If you want performance and quietness water is the best way to get rid of the heat. Simple as that.
If you want a leaf blower sat next to you then get a air cooled card, I'm sure there will be a air cooled version of the upcoming card.
If you want the best performance it costs money.
If you want something that's not costly and doesn't throw out a lot of heat and doesn't perform as good, don't get the fastest performing thing on the market

Agreed ^^
AIO is a good idea for AMD's 28nm cards. Maybe they can go back to air when they are on 20nm..

i bet you this cooler isn't it............... i think they've probably seen the 970 and thought..........``oh s*** look at the 970, it looks amazing``
because reading the Nvidia threads it's not what the consumer wants, he wants it small, cute and running cold
what about another 290X but on a much smaller PC board, (for now) and the 390X early next year

That ^^^
Maxwell is nice, good efficiency, but the 970 is not a trade in for my 290, i'm more than happy to keep it for a while yet.
You can if you want cause there is always maxwell if it disappoints
