Yep and then there is the slide after the break, that surfaced on the web over the weekend, it confirms leaks about R9 390X 8GB HBM. Anyway check after the break to see what is mentioned in the slide, that's IF it isn't a fake of course.
The leaker (videocardz) claims this slide is a part of in-house presentation called ‘2015 Future of Radeon’ that will be shown next week to AIB partners (not to public).
AMD Radeon R9 390X WCE:
Next iteration of the highly successful GCN design
- Up to 4096 shader units
- Full DirectX 12_Tier 3 implementation
- Optimized for 4K gaming & beyond
- First ever GPU designed for VR immersion
- Special enthusiast water-cooled edition
- Up to 8GB of ultra-high bandwidth HBM video memory
- Hardware H.265 decoding and over 4x the previous H.264 encoding speed, enabling smooth live streaming
- Enhanced ZeroCore functionallity

Ah well .. here's that slide:
