AMD Teases PCs with Radeon Fury X2 Dual FIJI GPUs

Showtime ! AMD is starting some buzz on the web as PR managers have send out tweets indicating that they are using a dual Fiji based graphics card at the VRLA  (Virtual Reality LA) convention. Yes that means aworking Radeon Fury X2 graphics cards.

The dual Fiji card will be seated into at least a prototype Falcon Northwest Tiki compact gaming desktop as well as HTC Vive HMD. Falcon Northwest already slipped that the dual-GPU Fiji based graphics card is very tiny and easily slips into a 4-inch thick Tiki.

That means the product will be small, really small. Which makes sense due to the HBM design, I mean look at Nano. It is rumored that dual-GPU Fiji under code-name Gemini would have 8 GB HBM1 graphics memory with a whopping 8192 stream processors.

It was already mentioned that the release of the Dual Fiji XT graphics card is on target for this year likely in Q2. In fact it was caught several times now being shipped as it turned up in an India based courier service. The code-name that was spotted is "Fiji Gemini", and we need to mention here that "Gemini" has been used by AMD before to indicate a dual-GPU product. The earlier photos however indicate two 8-pin PCI Express power connectors and thus an allowance up-to 375 Watt (which honestly is not bad).

One Radeon Fury X pushes close to 8.6 TFLOPS of performance, that means a dual-GPU version of it would offer over something close to 16 TFLOPs of single precision performance. And yes a dual-GPU Fiji would have 8 GB HBM1 graphics memory with a whopping 8192 stream processors. The PCB photo below is old though, that is an early prototype / enigneering samples from last summer. We expect a change or two alright. None the less. such a card would kick massive proverbial azzz.
