AMD Radeon R9 390X: specs leaked for flagship graphic card

Wikipedia

If the rumors are true, Advanced Micro Devices will be releasing its most powerful and priciest graphics card yet. New reports are claiming that AMD will be releasing the Radeon R9 390X as its flagship with unbelievable specs. 

Leaked slides from AMD's presentation for AiB revealed the tremendous board the firm is currently working on. Its 28nm GPU is set at a 1250 MHz memory clock and has a whopping 4096 stream processors. It also looks like AMD will be squeezing in 8.6 teraFLOPS of performance, which is enough to pound the GeForce GTX Titan X, which only has 6.2 TFLOPS. 

The numbers associated with the Radeon R9 390X are simply towering. Its 8 GB high-bandwidth memory from SK Hynix should blow users away. The greater thing about it, though, is that the forthcoming add-in board is one of the first cards to don the SK Hynix-made HBM. This special HBM is set at 2 GB for every stack through Dual Link.  

On the other hand, insiders who know what is happening behind AMD's closed doors told Heise.de that the highly-developed AMD flagship will cost more than $700. This makes it more costly than every single-chip Radeon graphics boards AMD has thrown into the market. Although the price may burn down a hole in the pocket, one will not feel any loss of hard-earned money because the AMD Radeon R9 390X will provide ultra-high definition resolution and excellent performance in gaming on the whole. 

A screenshot showed a comparison of gaming performance between the Radeon R9 390X and the R9 290X. The former reportedly performed 60 percent better in 4K gaming for titles like "Battlefield 4," "Far Cry 4," "Tomb Raider" and "Alien Isolation." This means that playing the titles in a PC that houses a Radeon R9 390X will be game heaven.
