AMD's Upcoming Fiji Based Radeon Flagship Is "Fury", R9 390X Is Based On Enhanced Hawaii

AMD'due south upcoming Titan equivalent flagship Radeon graphics carte du jour is rumored to be dubbed "Fury". R9 390X to be based on enhanced Hawaii. We had previously pointed out that AMD's 300 serial naming construction would only not allow for a 300 series Fiji based graphics carte du jour to exist.

This is because AMD'south Tonga GPU ended up equally the R9 380 and an "enhanced" version of Hawaii has been confirmed to be featured in the R9 390 series. This but leaves no room for Fiji. Post-obit that we heard that AMD was really going to position Republic of the fiji islands every bit a Titan equivalent in terms of branding. Thus information technology will end up with a unique name that doesn't follow the company's conventional 3 digit based naming structure. Today nosotros're hearing that this proper name is actually "Fury", although note the rumor tag every bit nosotros tin can't ostend this just yet.
And then the graphics card that yous see higher up and which has been teased by Joahnn Andersson on twitter is what is at present rumored to be called Fury.

AMD Radeon Fury Is The New Fiji Based Flagship - R9 390X Based on Enhanced Hawaii Silicon

Fury isn't actually an entirely new name. In fact the brand was used a very long time ago by ATi in the Rage era before the debut of the Radeon brand.  AMD took over all of ATi's assets when information technology acquired the company back in 2008, including its brands. So it'southward not implausible to come across AMD bring some of these old names dorsum.

AMD'due south upcoming flagship GPU Fiji, which is going to exist the starting time in the world to feature the side by side generation stacked memory technology dubbed HBM, is patently going to be the GPU that AMD will utilise to debut its new flagship branding scheme.
The R9 390X and R9 390 however will get updated versions of Hawaii with faster clock speeds and faster memory sub-systems as well. Thus the 390X will not be the flagship from the red team, instead AMD will debut its flagship chip Fiji under the proper name "Fury".

Let'due south briefly revisit Republic of the fiji islands'due south new secret weapon, HBM.
HBM represents the revolutionary step that has been so badly needed in the development of graphics retention standards. The first generation of HBM promises to evangelize four.5X the bandwidth of GDDR5 and a staggering 16 times the bandwidth of DDR3.
The second generation promises to double the bandwidth by doubling the speed from 1Gbps to 2Gbps. While too quadrupling the memory capacity for 4-Hi stacks from 1GB to 4GB. HBM2 will be featured in AMD's upcoming Chill Islands graphics compages with the "Greenland" flagship GPU.

Apart from the bandwidth heave and power savings HBM also offers an additional benefit and that is size. Because High Bandwidth Retentivity is vertically stacked, it offers much greater densities per mm². So at that place are immense area savings on the DRAM chips themselves and the printed circuit board equally well. Enabling far more compact class factors than before as is axiomatic by the photo of the Fiji board that was teased on twitter.

The reconstruction ofthe Fiji die as well reveals a similar story.

In our technical deep dive on Republic of the fiji islands nosotros were able to draw a rough guess of the Fiji'due south performance based on the cadre count and the GPU clock speed. But every bit we can't yet quantify the performance benefit from HBM without rigorous testing nosotros left it out of the equation. Fifty-fifty without putting HBM into the equation the estimated performance of Fiji XT is quite phenomenal.

The AMD Radeon 300 series is gear up to be released worldwide on June 18th, with the Fiji based flagship "Fury" following upwardly on June 24th.
