When do we think the 3 series will be hitting the shelves?

It was announced that the 300 series will be officially released at the end of E3 on the 18th June. The 390x will have a separate launch a week later on the 24th. I'm sure this information is already in this thread several pages back. Otherwise just Google it.

Well if people watched the video,David Kanter did mention one of the senior AMD design people,was the opinion of making the GPUs as large as they could,and also mentioned that some of the logic which will not be needed to be used due to HBM,in the past did not scale well with process node shrinks.

He also said,the reason they might be going for an AIO water cooler,was probably less to do with heat,but actually thermal density.

The last bit was just stupid and I cringed when he said it frankly, the actual pcb being smaller doesn't prevent the cooler being larger. There have been cards where the fan was connected at the end of the pcb, it effectively overhung the pcb. We see several aftermarket coolers extend beyond the height of the card. Effectively take a 290x, remove 1/2 the pcb, but keep the cooler length. The watercooling version merely enables it to be smaller, it's not at all because they can't just put a big cooler in there.

In fact if you took a 290x and removed half the pcb, for the half that doesn't have a pcb the cooler can be wider and extend to the full two slot width, the fan can be a bit bigger and wider also providing more airflow at a lower noise.

If AMD haven't taken advantage with a fairly simple idea I'll be disappointed, and they probably haven't. Imagine if the blower fan at the end of a card was wider and could be taken out and reversed. So in xfire you have the bottom card with the fan as normal but the top card, you remove a cover, install it on the side that normally has a fan opening, either the fan works or maybe needs turning around also. That way the top card isn't drawing air from between the cards but from above it. Wouldn't make a huge difference in 3-4 card setups, though some for the top card. Two card xfire is massively more common than 3-4 card xfire so would have a large benefit for the massive majority of xfire users.

does this likely mean we will not see any specs and the card until that precise date of the 24th?

Leaks will happen when cards are sent out for reviews/reseller.
so best estimate 2-3 weeks before the launch.
if its a hard launch you have cards the day after in store.
Now and then they send cards out really late for review but no idea how they planned this.
They surely done a good job making sure no leaks happens until they start to send the cards out.

How much heat does a HBM module generate vs a GDDR5 module?
Click to expand...

Well in one of the video posted, didn't the guy say that a GDDR5 setup on a modern card could produce about 70 watts, that includes the memory chips the traces and the memory controller components. Now HBM is suppose to save about 50% over GDDR5, but of course is that just the chips or the whole kit and caboodle. I reckon anywhere between 35 and 55 watts which is nothing to be sniffed at.

I hope this is bogus

I have just checked the £ to Indian rupee rate and it is about 100 to the pound.

That makes the value of each card £780 :eek:

Someone that has 4 of every card under the sun suddenly concerned about a cards price? :eek: Anyway its s shipping form, people generally over inflate the cost in case something happens to it in transit.
 
Nothing wrong with it costing that as long as it's better than the TX.

Saying that I don't think many AMD loyalists will like that price.
 
Are we seriously basing retail prices on a random shipping form with likely inflated costs? These things get leaked all the time, id be very surprised if the pricing people are deducing from this is remotely close.
