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:

Interesting. I wonder how true the statement is optimized for 4k and beyond is? Is this for 1 card or would you need more than 1.?

I find it interesting they mention 8Gb HBM. When initially all the rumours said 4Gb only.

I guess if the 'normal' 390X might have a hybrid cooling sollution, this might be the full block type of 390X.

Looks like my next card is a 390X 8GB. May have to wait, but not big deal.

Considering my next monitor upgrade, I will be looking at 4K. So this along with whatever Nvidia has, one of which will be replacing my Classifieds. Can't wait for these next series of cards to hit the market.
