Rebadged 290's, not worth getting a boner over....

Is there any evidence these are re-badged?

From what I've read it looks like the 38X and 39X feature HBM. While lower cards use GDDR5

If HP are using 380 or 980 in their flagship desktop PC's for 2015 wouldn't performance between two cards will be similar? Hopefully suggests the 38X cards aren't just reworked, but are based on new architecture.

Company revealed in press release that new ‘premium tower PCs’ from HP ENVY Tower series will either be equipped with GeForce GTX 980 or Radeon R9 380 graphics cards depending on the consumer choice.

What it means is that both cards are possibly going to offer similar performance. What we don’t know are the specifications of this card. One would assume R9 380(X) are simply rebranded R9 290(X) series, but so far there is no evidence behind this rumors, other than leaked XFX R9 380 picture, which does look very much alike R9 290X (at least judging from the PCB).

38x is the Grenada chip (reworked/overclocked Hawaii) if I remember correctly, and no HBM afaik (unless it's a new development)

That's disappointing if legit. Makes you wander how the cards would stack. I thought in terms of performance (Not pricing) like this,

R9 390X VS GTX Titan X
R9 390 VS GTX 980 Ti
R9 380 VS GTX 980
R9 370 VS GTX 970
R9 360 VS GTX 960..

I thought that 38X and above might have HBM, and if any chip was reworked it would be the R9 370 (Reworked 290X) to beat GTX 970..

We've no idea how much reworking there is or what the new performance will be like so pretty early to worry about any of it. If the reworking makes the 380 better & cheaper than a 980 then it doesn't seem disappointing to me?

(Note: the person you quoted said 38x not 380x - so saying the 'family' not the top-tier card in that family.)

Yeah mainly because tweaked 290X to compete with GTX 980 would likely still be power hungry and fairly pricey.

If 290X was being re spun to a lower card in the stack (37X) it would mean better value VS performance for the next lot of cards.

If 38X are reworked 29X we'll only really be seeing two 'new' cards the 390 / 390X. I would much rather see a whole stack of new cards and a shakeup in pricing. Guess that will be next year though. Last couple of years have been the most boring times in GPU's I can remember..

Oh well 2016 will at least be more exciting.

OEMs tend to get some rather odd cards at times. Alienware for example got the Radeon 8000 cards which don't even exist. All they are is rebranded 7970s.

Yeah this is a good point, I can't take any more waiting. Come on AMD :D

One thing to remember, reworked is a useful term as it can mean anything they like.

The r9 280 is a reworked 7950, the r9 280x is a reworked 7970 GHz ed, performing nearly exactly the same.

It could be said that the 7950 boost was a reworked 7950 and the 7970 GHz ed was a reworked 7970 and they had a much larger performance difference.

If the 380/x are reworked 290/x performance difference could be big or small, we will have to wait and see.
 
I think the 380/X's are being lined up as 970/980 competitors, hence the rumour about the 980 Metal to give it a boost (and maybe the 980 will drop into the 970 price-point) :)

I doubt 380 has HBM purely because the hotchips event listed "Fiji" as the first HBM cards especially if the 380 is based on Hawaii then double convinced no HBM

It's probably just a rebranded 285 or something equally as crap.

Alienware touted their so called amazing GTX 555 in their Auroras and it was nothing but a 550ti in disguise.
 
^^ Looks like these are being branded OEM, so doesn't tell us much about upcoming consumer chips as there was a HD 8000 series OEM that never came to consumer.

This waiting game really sucks, I just want a sneak peak plz AMD :p

I'm still hoping that more than just 390/390X will get HBM. The whole stack needs a shake up.
