AMD FirePro S9300 X2: Dual Fiji for HPC
Team red is taking the Radeon Pro Duo to the data center with its FirePro S9300 X2. This card combines two fully-enabled Fiji packages, each with 4GB of non-ECC HBM RAM.
The card is produced in in a server-friendly form factor. Each GPU runs at 850 MHz good for 13.9 TFLOPS of theoretical FP32 compute performance in a 300W power envelope. The new AMD FirePro™ S9300 x2 Server GPU is the world’s first professional GPU accelerator to be equipped with high bandwidth memory (HBM) and the first accelerator compatible with all AMD’s GPUOpen Professional Compute tools and libraries.
HBM allows the AMD FirePro S9300 x2 Server GPU to exceed the competition with 3.5x the memory bandwidth of NVIDIA’s Tesla M40 and 2.1x the memory bandwidth of NVIDIA’s Tesla K803.

A great accelerator is not complete without having a great developer ecosystem. With AMD’s GPUOpen Professional Compute software stack, the AMD FirePro S9300 x2 Server GPU utilizes AMD’s first open source Linux® driver built specifically for compute, as well as support for acceleration using C++ in addition to OpenCL™. Another benefit for those who have code in CUDA, is the ability to easily port the majority of their code over to C++, giving companies the freedom to choose between vendors.

Ashes of the singularity dx12 review?
How many times are you going to ask? He just reviewed the performance like a month ago. I doubt any major changes were made to the engine that would drastically effect performance between then and now.
