AMD Radeon R9 390X Arrives In 1 H 2015 – May Feature “ Hydra ” Liquid Cooling B| According to digitimes the R9 390X will become available in 1st Half of 2015. This spans a six month period from January to June so it ’s quite wide. It goes without saying that AMD will try to push the new card out as soon as it is ready . The R9 390 X is rumored to be based on the Fiji GPU core and is set to be a truly next generation product . Built on TSMC’s 20 m manufacturing process the new GPU will feature several new cutting edge technologies . In addition to being the first GPU to be built on the 20 nm process the card is also rumored to be the first to utilize High Bandwidth Memory or HBM for short . Which is a 3D stacked memory technology that promises more than 2X the bandwidth of GDDR5 and at a considerably lower power envelope. GDDR5 : ¤ I/O- 32 ¤ Max Bandwidth Per Pin- 7 Gbps ¤ Max Bandwidth- 28GBps ¤ Voltage- 1 . 35 – 1 . 65 ¤ Command Input- Single ¤ Layers- 1 2 -Hi HBM‘ Stacked DRAM ’ : ¤ I/O- 512 ¤ Max Bandwidth Per Pin- 1 Gbps ¤ Max Bandwidth- 64 GBps ¤ Voltage- ~1.2 ¤ Command Input- Double ¤ Layers- 2+1 4 -Hi HBM ‘ Stacked DRAM ’ : ¤ I/O- 1024 ¤ Max Bandwidth Per Pin- 1 Gbps ¤ Max Bandwidth- 128 GBps ¤ Voltage- ~1.2 ¤ Command- Input Double ¤ Layers- 4+1 The card will also allegedly be the first single GPU reference board to come with hybrid liquid cooling similar to the dual GPU R9 295 X. Which is the fastest graphics card in the world at the present moment . More than three months stand between now and 2015 however. And AMD will have to address the market now. According to digitimes and several other sources , AMD will be introducing some very aggressive price cuts on its R9 290 series . My own personal sources have also told me that AMD will very likely be introducing more big name video game titles to their never settle bundle program . All of this is in attempt to regain and maintain the comapny ’s competitive market position in discrete graphics. Other sources have also suggested a similar release plant for the R9 390X to what digitimes has reported. Which is a 1 H 2015 time frame for the R9 390 X. Giving this rumor more validity .
