AMD Radeon 390 and 390X Specs and Benchmarks ?

Interesting news, over at the ranking system of SiSoft Sandra new entries have been spotted of what seem to be GPUs that we don't know of. And the specs are pretty appealing. Let's call the two entries the Radeon R9 390 and 390X for now (complete speculation of course). But the 390X entry would be a GPU with 4096 Shader Processors running / 64 Compute Units at 1GHz with 4GB of graphics memory running at 1.25GHz (= 5Gbps).

The 1 GHz would be a boost speed meaning the dynamic clock could hover in-between say 900 MHZ and that 1 GHz. The second entry shows a GPU which we will call the Radeon R9 390 at 3520 Shader Processors / 44 Compute Units. These obviously and very likely are engineering samples of some kind and whether or not these are TBA consumer desktop SKUs is unknown.

But fact is, these entries are there, meaning there is a Hawaii architecture based SKU in the works with 4096 and one with 3520 Shader processors running in the 1 GHz marker. The memory might seem to be clocked a little low, but we don't know the memory bus interface, heck if that is 512-bit it would be a chuck-load of band-with. But that again would be speculation.

Here are the two Sandra Sisoft links showing the info:

• Result ID AMD Radeon Graphics Processor (4096SP 64C 1GHz, 4GB 1.25GHz 4096-bit) (OpenCL)
• Result ID Hawaii (3520SP 44C 1ГГц, 3Гб) (OpenCL)

How valid these results are, we don't know. We do know that somebody has been testing Compute performance, and the results are in the SiSoft database somehow. A false Sandra report ? We'll find out soon enough I guess. Thanks go out to Rich_Guy in our forums for spotting this one.

I think this along with the GM200 chip tested and with The GTX960 shipped image, means that the new gpus are around the corner...

Hope the cards will be 6GB not 4GB. But that's unlikely.

That's one of the price they have to pay by choosing 512bit.

If they go with 8GB (I am sure there will be 8GB models), the price will be skyrocketed...

I hope they crash nvidia :P ( crossing fingers )

I hope whoever has the upper hand to offer lower price or their GPUs to be somewhat close in performance.

I really loved the idea of $260 R9 290 and $330 GTX 970 xD.

It remind me the GT200 eras where the competition was close and the big chip GTX 285 had a price of $330 while the just lower bandwidth (not cores!!!) chip (GTX 275) had a price of $200!!!!!

@Coseniath: i see you didnt change your gpu ? what are you still waiting ? :P the new r390 ?:P or titan :P

Availability :S

I am aiming the G1 Gigabyte version so...

Still waiting to buy it from a store in my city and they said, end of November.

GTX970 is selling so fast, that even at $500 (400 euro for Gigabyte gaming) here, most models are sold out in all stores. LOL! Financial crisis my @ss...

Maybe new GPUs will change the price too.

ps: Waiting will benefit me in an other way too. Some Gigabyte (and EVGA, MSI. ASUS seems unneffective from this) models have coil whine.

Gigabyte has release v1.1 cards in order to solve this.

I guess you didn't notice the "4096 bit"? It's speculated that the Radeon 300s might have stacked memory and therefore such a massive memory bus would be plausible.
