Wccftech has reported on leaked specs for the AMD Fiji XT and nVidia GM 200 chips, expected to launch in the 390x and Titan II/980 Ti/something. The leaks are from the SiSoft Sandra benchmarking database.
Summarizing from the articles in question.
Fiji XT:
4096 Stream Processors
4GB HBM at 1.25 Ghz (~533 GB/s)
1 Ghz boost clock speed.
20nm process
GM200:
3072 CUDA cores
6GB GDDR5 at 6 Ghz (effective) (290 GB/s)
~1.4 Ghz boost clock speed
28nm process.
So, what do you guys think? Legit or not? I, for one, am extremely hyped. I was expecting nVidia to get thrashed at the beginning of next year with the R9 390x launch (other rumors mentioning 4096 stream processors, HBM, and 20nm), but with a 3k CUDA core chip, nVidia could stay competitive, if priced correctly. Of course, it's entirely possible these leaks are inaccurate.
When these get released I'm going to have a hard time choosing between the R9-380x and the R9-390 lol. Also Word of Advice I learned the Hard-way Don't buy the cards AS SOON as they come out. I Bought two ASUS Direct CU II R9-270x's for Crossfire on DAY 1. never received an AMD Gold Card :(
There was no reference model for the R9-270x. I mean technically there was but it was only sent to reviewers. for example Austin Evan's Review of R9-270x he shows a Reference Model Card. :/
Well that report is actually 50% more processors than the 290X. The other report for 4092 processors is like 45.3% more processors. I am willing to bet the former is more accurate, but again, nothing is confirmed. Still impressive numbers though. Can't wait to see real world performance.
I am looking forward to this for one reason, I can pick up cards for pennies haha.
Seriously I hope AMD do something good, I love AMD (Not a fanboy) but I have to admit, they are getting smashed since the 970 launch, heres to the x380 or what ever crushing it.
