AMD Radeon R9 360 370 380 Are All ReSpin products
AMD released its specs for the OEM models of the Radeon R9 380, Radeon R9 370 and Radeon R9 360. These all are based on existing chips and designs.
I specifically will add the keyword OEM here as the actual retail products might differ in specs a little. AMD names all the product R9, that is at least new. The AMD Radeon R9 380 is based on Tonga (Radeon R8 285) and has 1792 stream processors. The AMD Radeon R9 370 OEM “Pitcairn” and has 1024 stream processors (Radeon 7800/ R9 270X). Then the low-end R9 360 OEM (radeon 7790 / Radeon R9 260) is based on Bonaire and gets 768 stream processors. When we chart up stuff here's what the table looks like:
AMD Radeon R9 380, R9 370, R9 360 OEM Graphics Cards as listed at the AMD website:
AMD Radeon R9 380 OEM | AMD Radeon R9 370 OEM | AMD Radeon R9 360 OEM | |
Fabrication Process | 28nm | 28nm | 28nm |
GPU | Tonga Pro | Pitcairn Pro | Bonaire Pro |
Compute Engines | 28 | 16 | 12 |
Streaming Processors | 1792 | 1024 | 768 |
Graphics memory | 4 GB GDDR5 | 4-2 GB GDDR5 | 2 GB GDDR5 |
Memory Clock | 5.5 GHz | 5.6 GHz | 6.5 GHz |
Core Clock | 918 MHz | 975 MHz | 1050 MHz |
Memory Bandwidth | 176 GB/s | 179.2 GB/s | 104 GB/s |
Power Connectors | 2 x 6-pin | 1 x 6-pin | n/a |
Form Factor | Full Height, Dual slot | Full Height, Dual slot | Full Height, Dual slot |
Freesync | Yes | No | Yes |
DirectX 12 Support | Yes | Yes | Yes |
This begs one question, Hawaii Pro and XT have not been named, (Radeon R9 290/290x). Obviously these will be respun as well in some sort of SKU. Again let me state, this is the OEM lineup, thus add-in cards for system builders and not retail standalone SKUs.

This is getting old...
When it comes to rebranding, my originally 7850 might become the most "futureproof" card ever. Became an R9 265 all by itself and what next?
Can't wait to rename my profile again.

if you play sometime and at only 1080... then this GPU do the job pretty fine, even with lattest product (and i don't like A(ti)MD

considerating this it is logical to have rebranded GPU of 4 years ago (btw NVidia will (and have, like the red one) do the same, actual 740 is still Kepler.
more on topic, it make a nice line of GPU for medium level, and about the 79**, it might have been swap because of cooler that can't be standard compared to other GPU of the line, (remember the GPU is inclined by 45° and is lower too.)
I agree to an extent, but the low amount of VRAM (2gb on some models) is really a draw back now with these larger games with high res textures.
They'd do good to cut out at least 2gb on the 7870 rebrands

i wonder if we get GTX 770 rebrand next, 770 still going strong.
Both nvidia and AMD should stop milking, we want 4k at least 60fps.

You're not getting 4K @ 60Fps from midrange cards any time soon. And currently both Nvidia/AMD are skirting the 600mm2 maximum die size for each of their top end cards (at least I assume the 390x will be close to that in die size). Aside from an architecture breakthrough, the Titan X is literally the pinnacle of what 28nm is capable of currently (390x will most likely tie or surpass it).
I don't think you can call it milking when there is no way forward.

That 380 should beat 960 easily enough, so isn't it okay in that sense? If 380X manages to sit between 970 and 980, the 300 line would be quite competitive, I reckon, with AMD pricing. If 380X merely matches 970, things might get a bit hairy unless the price is excellent. Anybody buying below 380 isn't really looking for a gamer's card in any case.
That being said, I'm only interested in 380X and 390.
A friend of mine was considering one for his new computer, but after I laughed at his plans, he promptly switched to 970.
the 380 is the same exact chip as 285 so no it will not beat the 960 easily enough, it will be 50/50 ,I for one am extremely disappointment they went this re brand route, guess they don't have enough money to develop more than one new core, this gen once again will have only high end improvements, the same chips for mid/low end, all i have to say:this release looks pathetic
