The product would be 19cm in length, offers 2x the perf of the 290X at half the power - it is now confirmed launching in August.
AMD confirmed this info during its quarter result conference call. It will be the 3rd product deriving from the Fiji range GPUs and follows a mITX form factor.

Lol, its not twice as powerful as a 290X.
Its roughly the same performance as a 290X but uses about half the power.
In other words, its twice as powerful 'per watt' which is easy to misinterpret until that second cup of coffee

So let me get this straight. Fury X is not twice as powerful as the 290x, Nano will be a cut down Fury X and it will be twice as powerful as the 290x while consuming half the power.
When is this false marketing from AMD going to stop?
I'm willing to be that near release they're gonna do something like 'yeaaah it's actually not twice as powerful' just like they did with the Fury X. Zomg Titan killer and at E3 'yeaaaaah it's around 980Ti levels, not Titan". "Yeaaah it doesn't have 640 GB/s bandwidth anymore". "Yeaaaah the boxes say it's 480GB/s. "Yeaaah in reality it's even lower than that".
Call me a hater if you want, but stuff like this is why I avoid AMD. "Fastest card on the market" has been overused so much I automatically skip reading it when I read a press conference from AMD.
And now those Nano statements piss me off.

AMD realy did a great job with the power efficiency of the fiji gpu it's on par with maxwell now.
I hope that it will launch with proper drivers to
see the fury true power especialy with win 10

That thing you are raging about is not AMD's official text, it is posted by Hilbert (if he actually wrote that).
If you look at slides, they say something different. 2x performance per size of card and 2x performance per watt. And that is correct.
Text at top is apparently wrong as it basically means 4x performance per watt.
