We discussed already that the entire Radeon 360 to 290 pretty much is a respin of last gen-products, that's aside from Radeon Fiji with its HBM memory. It is a product that will get a new name, and the latest gossip is that AMD is going back to the ATI roots and will use the rage legacy naming, where it pretty much all started.



Obviously this is just a rumor that popped up on the web somewhere, but i have been hearing about this rumor for a couple of days know. The new top-of-the-range and bill graphics board from AMD will reportedly be called AMD Radeon Fury, furiously fast ? Who knows. But AMD Radeon FURY does sound good in my book.

 

AMD’s flagship graphics card Radeon Fury “Fiji XT” graphics processing unit is reportedly based on a new GCN 1.3 architecture and with 4096 stream / shader processors  and has 64 compute units, 256 texture units and then of course stacked memory, HBM with 1024-bit input/output interface times 4 for 4GB of graphics memory with up to 640GB/s of bandwidth.

Let's keep calling it, Radeon Fury graphics card as it sounds good. The card wioll be equipped with a hybrid liquid cooling system and will require two 8-pin PCI Express power connectors, monitor connectivity is HDMI and DP, no more DVI.

So the new / refresh lineup should look something like this:
