Possible Radeon 390X / 390 and 380X Spec / Benchmark (do not hotlink images!!!!!!)

We do have some big releases at the moment but other great releases will be always coming along as well can not wait too see how these cards effect the market when they are released
 
So the 380x is basically a rebadged 290x :(

from kit guru
AMD Radeon R9 390/390X – Fiji Pro/Fiji XT graphics processing units featuring GCN 1.3 architecture with up to 4096 stream processors and 4096-bit interface to HBM memory. Price range: $649 and upwards.
AMD Radeon R9 380/380X – Grenada Pro/Grenada XT graphics processing units featuring GCN 1.2 or GCN 1.3 architecture with up to 2816 stream processors and 512-bit interface to GDDR5 memory. Price range: $249 – $299 – $329. Since “Grenada” GPU is basically a revamped “Hawaii”, it is possible that instead of making a new GPU, AMD will simply use the old one under a new moniker.
AMD Radeon R9 375X – Tonga XT graphics processing units featuring GCN 1.2 architecture with up to 2048 stream processors and 384-bit interface to GDDR5 memory. Price range: around $229.
AMD Radeon R9 375 – Tonga Pro graphics processing units featuring GCN 1.2 architecture with up to 1792 stream processors and 256-bit interface to GDDR5 memory. Price range: around $199.
AMD Radeon R9 370/370X – Trinidad Pro/Trinidad XT graphics processing units featuring GCN 1.3 architecture with up to 1536 stream processors and 256-bit interface to GDDR5 memory. Price range: $119 – $149.

380/x = 290/x
375x = 280 with more stream processors but less than a 290
370x = 285 x


Only the 390 is something genuinely new according to that which is a shame I hope it's good.

A revised 290X with GCN 1.3 may be about 10-20% faster than a standard 290X which is nothing to sniff at. I think it would bring it up to GTX980 territory at a much cheaper price.
 
It was just forum chatter from some obscure German site, the tech sites published it as fact and now it's gospel for some reason.

The Chiphell benches have more credibility.

They will have to make two different chips if they have 8 and 4GB SKUs. They will want to do a 2nd salvage on the 390 parts that don't quite cut it.

So 380X could just as easily be 4GB HBM Fiji.

That makes sense! Seen has they have held off for so long to release. They may have intended to have rebadged the 290X as the 380X however things could have easily of changed.

Cost cutitng most likely.

Personally I don't think it is a big issue. AMD simply can't afford to design multiple different GPUs at this stage.
 
Two AMD Fiji cards coming in June

Fiji XT and Fiji VR dual-chip

We have an update on AMD’s highly anticipated flagship GPU, codenamed Fiji.
There will be at least two Fiji cards, probably even more. The second revision of the GPU works a bit better and some of you might know that Fiji was supposed to come in Q1, but it was delayed for mid- 2015.

As far as our sources are aware, the launch date is in June or the last month of the second quarter. AMD should launch the Carrizo APU at Computex at some point after June 2nd, and we heard that Fiji might come a week or two later, if not at the same event.

Fiji XT is faster than Nvidia’s Geforce GTX 980, but it is unlikely that it will end up faster than the Geforce Titan.

Not even news really is it. June has been touted as the release for months now and I and many others would be disgusted if it wasn't faster than a 980 considering it will have been out for around 9 months by then.

290x = GCN 1.1, that article which you have NO idea if it's made up or not, still says the 380x will be GCN 1.2 or 1.3.

Different architecture = not rebadged. Rebadged = IDENTICAL silicon given a new name. A different architecture is not ever the same silicon.

You post a link of questionable accuracy saying in so many words that the 380x is NOT rebadged... so you post it saying it's basically rebadged. There are plenty of people who irk me on these forums but for a staff member to be so completely wrong so often about almost everything he posts using his staff account is completely unforgivable. It's also quite obvious you are anti AMD because of your constant deriding of AMD all over this sub forum.

Only the 390 is new according to the link... for someone who if you're sitting there working in the warehouse somewhere, can look at these cards and feels they have enough knowledge to post on the forums. That link says the 370/370x are NEW silicon, the 390 is new silicon, the 380/380x is new silicon, the ONLY old silicon listed there at all is the 375/375x... and that is because it was the newest.

Letting you post this crap all over the forum for the past couple of months is beyond a joke. You're supposed to be staff, how about you represent your company and stop AMD bashing in every other thread in here I see you post in.

Almost every generation you have say a low, mid, high end card. The next generation after has will have a high end that has maybe double the shaders of the previous high end, the mid range will have half that shader count and be about the same performance level/shader count as the last gen high end, and on down the product line in the same way.

One card usually every generation offers a completely new performance level, the rest of them usually hit the same performance points as the previous gen but with updated features, more efficiency, newer architecture and a lower price point.

At this point you're either trolling... using your company forum account which is completely unacceptable, or you don't have a clue what you're talking about, which depending on your role at the company is pretty bad or completely okay. You don't have to know about the products to order them, pack orders, ship them or just run the company. But when you go on the forums on your company account, representing your company and pretending you know what you're talking about, that also isn't remotely okay.

either know what you're talking about, or don't post using a company account.

380X is not going to be a 290X rehash.
The 290X architecture is already obsolete to AMD, if they where just going to rename the 290X - 380X dont you think they would have done that already?

GCN evolution:

GCN 1.0 (HD 7000)
GCN 1.1 (HD 7790) Increased Transistor Density, Increased Power Efficiency by 10%.
GCN 1.2 (R9 290X / R7 260X) Added True Audio, Improved Scaler.
GCN 1.3 (R9 285) Increased Tessellation Throughput by 200% to 400%, Increased Memory Bandwidth efficiency by 40%.

In Practice:

GCN 1.3 - R9 285: 1792 Shaders @ 918Mhz - 256Bit @ 1250Mhz - 172GB/s
GCN 1.0 - R9 280: 1792 Shaders @ 933Mhz (+2%) - 384Bit @ 1375Mhz - 240GB/s (+40%)
GCN 1.0 - R9 280X: 2048 Shaders (+14%) @ 1000Mhz (+9%) - 384Bit @ 1500Mhz - 288GB/s (+65%)

As you can see there the 285 is slightly lower clocked than the 280 and it has 40% less Memory bandwidth.

It has 23% less GPU than the 280X and 65% less Memory Bandwidth.

The actual gaming results of the 285 are at its best is 10% faster than the 280X despite the 280X being a lot more GPU.

At its worst its 5% slower than the 280.




On average its somewhere in-between the 280 and 280X

A GCN 1.3 GPU with 2816 Shaders @ 1000Mhz, a 512Bit Bus with 320GB/s of Memory Bandwidth should be 10% to 30% faster than a 290X.
