AMD Hawaii R9 290X GPU Specifications ?
A set of AMD Hawaii R9 290X GPU Specifications have been revealed by the German website 3DCenter.org. It is unclear how valid the specs really are. Key points: 4 raster engines, up to 2816 shader units, little bit more than 900 MHz base clock, temperature-controlled boost clock, 28nm process, around 430 mm² die-size, infos about process and die-size from an AMD interview with Forbes.
The 3DCenter website itself is in German, so this is a very rough Google translation, make of the information what you want:
From the corresponding speculative thread of our forum come first reasonably reliable data for Hawaii graphics chip from AMD's Volcanic Islands-generation , which AMD 25 September in the Radeon R200 series will introduce. However, the data stated are not speculations or assumptions, but come from a seemingly informed user - however, there is the residual risk that this is deliberate disinformation by AMD or the information in the transmission may have been partially corrupted. Thus, the following specifications are hardly ever can be laid on the gold scale - on the other hand correspond to these specifications Hawaii chip quite the preliminary expectations , that are realistic in every case:
AMD Hawaii
- 28nm production at TSMC
- ~ 430mm ² chip area (18% on R1000/Tahiti)
- 2.0 GCN Architecture (R1000/Tahiti: 1.0 GCN)
- DirectX 11.2 (as R1000/Tahiti)
- 4 raster engines (+100% over R1000/Tahiti)
- max 2816 shader units aka 44 shader clusters - in any case more than the 2304 shader units, the GeForce GTX 780 (+37.5% compared to R1000/Tahiti)
- Chip clock (Hawaii XT): slightly more than 900 MHz (similar to the Radeon HD 7970, but lower than the Radeon HD 7970 "edition GHz")
- Temperature-controlled boost clock - the card is not able to play to their full performance due to limits on temperature and power consumption regularly
- probably only a 384-bit DDR memory interface (such R1000/Tahiti)
- Presentation: 25 September 2013
- For sale: probably mid / late October 2013
- Sell ??name: Radeon probably R9-290 (Hawaii Pro) & Radeon R9-290X (Hawaii XT)

Yes I've heard about possible 2800 cores,
If its really a 2800 core it will definitely destroy through current "high end" market. That 40% faster gap seems very possible

Edit just saw this was the 290x/dual GPU/onePCB nvm.

R9-290X isn't a dual GPU. Just compare it to the stats of the 7990 at the top of that list of cards and you can see that.
It's looking promising for my next gfx card at least

Why not top 3Dcenter.org forum member's unmitigated optimism by assuming AMD threw in a whole nother column of 16 GCN compute units, totaling 3,072 shader units and can run the new monster at 1 GHz while we're at it...all because the 28nm process has matured in such a nice way, of course...
