AMD Radeon 390X WCE - Water-Cooled Edition
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
Granted the screenshot does look like an AMD slide, the text however has typo's (functionality is misspelled) and weird wording like "DirectX 12_Tier 3 implementation" which is uncommon for AMD as everything is vetted and goes through a screening process.
Ah well .. here's that slide:

Yes, because those additional 25Watts this 390x eats over Titan X require water cooling solution.
It is what customers in this segment want, and AMD is gonna deliver that cooling.
Cool n' Quiet!
On side note, I believe this card will have quite different heat distribution than those in past as HBM are not power hungry and all those freed Watts are spent on GPU. (Still easy for accelero type of cooling.)
And quite surprising form factor may come too.
