YARRRR' THERE BE SOME LEAKING GOING ON OVER AT THE WCCF COVE, AND I BE THE ONE TO SHARR' IT WITH YOU SCURVY DOGS  

 

4224 SPs, now that be an interresting number, ye salty crab

 

(sorry for my awful pirate speak, first time trying  :unsure: )

 

 

[Exclusive] [Editorial]: I have just recently gotten my hands on a somewhat outdated AMD Roadmap, the essentials of which should nonetheless hold true. The specifics mentioned in this post are liable to change and the primary focus of this leak is to serve as the basis of all future Pirate Islands speculation. This is going to be a very very interesting post, so buckle up, but keep that pinch of salt handy.

Now according to the road-map, we will see the R9 390X before the R9 380X. The R9 390X will feature the ‘Bermuda XTX’ core and feature a staggeringly high number of SPs, ie. 4224. The Texture Unit count is 264 with 96 ROPs. It is slated to show up late 2014 around November or so.

Impressive foreseeing, oh mighty WCCF oracle

1. dont trust WWCT

2. More info would be nicer in first post, Like i use to do it...

3. What?

 

but thx for posting anyways

 

Edit: any release date given? that 4200 Shadow units got my attention if its even true:D

1. WCCF

2. OP is updating it as we speak, and you seem full of yourself.

3. AMD. Next gen GPUs. Leak.

2. Thx OP for doing dat, i thought you just were posting one sentence and the source:D sry

3. I know, I just put the third one there since it sounds better

This site... I would laugh if the next gen of AMD cards is R11(or R10, but it seems like its odd and prime in R7 and R9) 2xx instead of R9 3xx...

I SAID SORRY!!!! dont take the water in lava:(

                               I heard that in a film^^

Imma throw an aircooled 295X at you if you dont stop  :lol:

[ivhyn]

390x this year? nah.

[ViruZ_HUN]

NUUUH! please I WILL BURN TO DEATH!!

[ViruZ_HUN]

Oh you crushed my dream there.

 

Was just comparing in my mind:

 

GTX 880 vs R9 390x

[MbV93]

I was planning on getting a 280X, now I think I'm going to wait a little bit longer.

stop being like me:P

Might as well buy it now, i don't think we will be seeing any new GPUs anytime soon 

[The_Strict_Nein]

If this is at all true, it looks like all AMD cards are going to see a major price hike with the mandatory liquid cooling. Jesus, 4000 cores? That thing won't be air cooled, they can barely cool 2000 properly. Unless these are 20nm and that is able to make that much of a difference

[TechFan@ic]

My initial conjecture for 20nm GPUs including Pirate Islands & Maxwell was for a Q4 2014 release. I'm still sticking to that release date, it's going to be extremely difficult for both vendors to push out new cards before 2015 but they simply have to otherwise they'll lose out on the holiday season in which nearly 50% of the year's PC hardware is sold.

With all the delays of 20nm fab I just don't think it will happen this year, hopefully I'm wrong!

damn right you are wrong!, my dreams dont ever lie!

1.please

2.Stop with

3.this stupid 1 2 3 thing

[thewhitestig]

That's a ridiculous amount of shaders though - 4224. If it's clocked around 900mhz it will be 7,6 teraflops. And the 380X has better specs than the 290X. 3072 vs 2816 shaders, 192 vs 176 texture mapping units, 72 vs 64 ROPs. If they sell that for 249$ or 299$ it would be one hell of deal. Maxwell is coming though. Things just got interesting. We shall see soon enough.

the waiting game ehh? You'll be stuck forever, like me.

Got a 780, heard about Maxwell and returned it. Got a 660ti. Heard about AMD R9 290X. Scary moment (couldn't decide) until I saw the temperature and fan speeds. Continued to wait for Maxwell. Maxwell gets pushed back more, AMD and Nvidia having a showdown, entertaining me while I wait. Now, I don't even know what to do.

Haha I know. Yeah, might as well get the 280X. I'll probably get it, it's just that when I got my 560 I told myself that I wouldn't upgrade until the Maxwell architecture came out or AMD's equivalent but yeah, it has been pushed and pushed years and months.

4224?  Gee that's even more than the 4096 that WCCF said would be on the Hawaii cores  :rolleyes:  And I wonder how those 5GHz 12-core 75W Phenom IV's are coming along...
