AMD Radeon R9 390X To Skip Computex - Launches at E3
With AMD sponsoring a PC Gaming event at E3, this kind of was to be expected. It seems now that the Radeon R9 390X will not show up next month in Taiwan's Computex. But rather will be revealed at E3, which is the 18th of June.
The Radeon R9 390X is Fiji GPU based and the pending flagship graphics card from AMD. Some say it will be available in two versions, an air-cooled one with a standard size PCB, as well as a liquid cooled version with a compact PCB. We'll have to wait and see about that one though.
Due to usage of HBA, High Bandwidth Memory the Radeon R9 390X is expected to have a smaller PCB yet amazing graphics memory bandwith. Other rumors exposes many times now indicate a 4096 GCN 1.2 Shader Processors based product series with 256 TMUs, 128 ROPs and thus that 4096-bit HBM memory interface, offering memory a whopping bandwidth of 640GB/s.
Time will tell ...

There will be a lot of products on E3. Sadly many will not be good due to poor choices on manufacturer side.
Acer apparently has E15 notebook (15") with Fx-8800p (512SP) and pairs it with dGPU which has 384SP, and asking price will be quite high.
But there for sure will be bunch of devices which will be impressive.
I more wonder about retail vs OEM R9-300 series, and if retail will skips generation or use same/similar naming.
There is card with HBM, HBM itself brings quite performance boost, those few saved watts will got towards GPU performance and makes 4096SP realistic and good enough to face Titan X.
But it is still speculation and there is still chance that r9-390x will be on 14nm considering time in year and state of Samsung/GloFo. I do remember 1st 28nm GPU...

They probably moved the launch to E3 to use it to showcase DX12 in all its glory at the PC Gaming Event.

The only expected DirectX12 games so far are Fable Legends and Battlefield probably anyway.

Well, so we were just fed with rumors not to buy GeForce 970/980. Kinda expected...
I suppose then we'll get some kind of paper launch, and the card will be in limited availability around October.
