While we are still a few months away from launch, this is withal prime time for leaks to striking the internet and just like the Radeon 200 serial before information technology, the leaks started to striking months ago. Nearly of the codenames we know of the Radeon 300 series cards were derived from Catalyst drivers that launched a year back and at that place are several indications to why these codenames would be true as they have been verified in several shipping manifestos during their initial development. In that location are some familiar names reported and some new names so nosotros will get right to the details.

The Radeon 300 series cards will be based on four GPU architectures known as Fiji, Grenada, Tonga, Trinidad. Now this is non official information and neither does the written report finalizes on the positioning of these chips but based on initial facts and rumors, there is enough testify to where these fries would exist positioned in the market place. Do note that the specifications of these cards other than the limited details is all nosotros know and would not be reported in this article as fact bated from the speculation which should be taken as a grain of salt as the information is subjected to change when the final specifications are revealed nearly launch time of these cards. 3DCenter does has a adept reputation when it comes to speculating on codenames, launch time frames early so we will post these interesting bits and pieces in detail below:

AMD Radeon 300 Series - Bermuda Graphics Card (Radeon R9 395X2)

The Bermuda GPU is well known to become the flagship offering of the Radeon 300 serial. The GPU itself along with the actual Bermuda Isle accept long been a mystery. Only as the dust settles, it seems similar Bermuda GPU is non the proper noun of an actual GPU but rather a codename for a dual fleck graphics bill of fare. Just like Vesuvius, the fleck will be featured in the Radeon R9 295X2'southward successor, the Radeon R9 395X2 which is expected to launch in late 2022. The pricing of this flagship offer would probable stick close to the $1499 US range and will include again, the amazing AIO h2o cooler which showed its benefits on AMD'south best dual-chip offering.

AMD Radeon 300 Series - Fiji GPU (Radeon R9 390 Series)

The Fiji GPU is what's going to go inside AMD'southward successor to the Radeon R9 290X and Radeon R9 290. Initially, only 2 fries are to be expected, Republic of the fiji islands XT and Fiji Pro featured inside the Radeon R9 390X and Radeon R9 390. There'southward no confirming to what specifications these might hold merely the top chip will be featured inside the dual chip Radeon R9 395X2 offering. Some specifications that take been previously revealed signal out to 4096 cores and a iv GB, 4096-bit (1024-bit per aqueduct) HBM memory. The chip volition exist the showtime to adopt SK Hynix's HBM memory design stacking layers upon layers of fast retentiveness on the GPU die.Nosotros haven't seen any samples or representation of what the GPU might wait like but we are soon to become a glimpse at the product if launch is close. A cutting down variant volition exist fused inside the Radeon R9 390 (Republic of the fiji islands Pro) while in that location's also rumors of a tertiary SKU chosen Fiji CE which will feature an even more cut down design and a ii GB HBM retentiveness design which just doesn't look that bang-up from a specifications point of view. The Fiji GPU will utilize the latest GCN 1.iii graphics architecture from what is rumored in the details.

AMD Radeon 300 Series - Grenada GPU (Radeon R9 380 Serial)

The Radeon R9 380 series is going to be an interesting ane since it's going to be based on the Grenada GPU. We haven't heard of this proper noun earlier but from what it looks like, the Grenda GPU is really a rebranded Hawaii as seen from its specifications. Hence we are going to see ii SKUs, the Radeon R9 380X (Grenada XT) and R9 380 (Grenada Pro) featuring 2816 cores and 2560 cores respectively. In that location are no architectural enhancements to both cards and volition characteristic the same iv GB GDDR5 VRAM and 512-scrap memory interface. The pricing of both cards will exist made very attractive to gamers since Hawaii still has muscles to render 4K games with playable frame rates.

AMD Radeon 300 Serial - Tonga GPU (Radeon R9 370 Series)

The Radeon R9 370 serial is what will be the entry line to the R9 serial and would exist the mainstream performance segmented lineup. Based on the Tonga chip, there would be two SKUs, the Tonga Pro which volition go into the Radeon R9 370 and volition feature exact specifications as the Radeon R9 285 while the Tonga XT with a 384-chip and 3 GB GDDR5 retentiveness along with the full 2048 stream processor core would exist featured within the Radeon R9 370X. The Radeon R9 370X will exist the true showcase of potential for the GCN 1.ii made, Tonga chip which has seen its current iteration being adopted as the not so famous, R9 285 and the R9 M295X GPU. The Tonga flake will tackle the GM206 based offerings since both will be bachelor around the $200 United states of america marker.

AMD Radeon 300 Series - Trinidad GPU (Radeon R7 360 Series)

The last of the lineup is the Trinidad GPU which we have heard of before in a previous leak. The change is that the cards it would be featured within are supposed to be Radeon R7 360 series. These would be the entry level and in a higher place $100 marketplace cards. Below these would be the R7 250 and R7 240 replacements which we don't know of yet. The expert thing is that these sub $150 cards would rock a 256-fleck bus and ii GB of GDDR5 VRAM which is a good for sweet spot and entry level cards.. Not much is known regarding the specifications except that these might also be featuring GCN 1.three core enhancements.

AMD is stacking up their lineup pretty well and would all the recent price updates, they will make up for all the curt comings they had to confront while loosing market share to NVIDIA since the launch of the GeForce GTX 900 series cards. At that place's no dubiety that AMD wouldn't become quietly without fight from the green side every bit nosotros have already seen a glimpse at the monster that NVIDIA has kept under wraps for so long. Their GM200 core is soon going to hit full production and that is the component that is going to face the Republic of the fiji islands in a last battle of the almost high-functioning 28nm chips e'er to be manufactured.
