While the cards haven’t been officially released to the public, the Radeon R9 390x’s (assuming that’s what they end up being called) are in the hands of developers. Johan Anderrson, Dice’s Technical Director, has been playing around with AMD’s new flagship and calls them “seriously impressive”. That’s not all he did either – ‘leaking’.

It’s fair to say that with recent news the Radeon R9 300 series will make it’s June 3rd debut at Computex, there’s a lot of excitement in the air, particularly around the R9 390X which will feature HBM (High Bandwidth Memory). AMD have recently released an official set of slides explaining why they’ve opted.

A few days ago, we’d reported that you’ll be able to march into your local store (or, more realistically, point your web browser to your favorite online store) and purchase the R9 300 series by June 24th (or the 18th for Fiji), and while that hasn’t changed, AMD are planning to announce their cards.

There’s been no shortage of rumored release dates for AMD’s Radeon 300 series, but a new set of rumors (which look fairly solid) indicate the 300 series will indeed be launched in June. The ‘lower’ end parts of the Radeon R9 300 series will be launching on June 18, while the R9 390X Fiji.

Yesterday AMD officially unveiled it was indeed working on the world’s first GPU featuring stacked High Bandwidth Memory, but stopped short on giving us hints on its specifications. Teaser images for what appears to be AMD’s new flagship card has emerged, and they demonstrate that the GPU is considerably smaller than other recent AMD.

If you’re the proud owner of any modern high end graphics card, you’ll likely be all to aware that their PCB’s are pretty damn big. But the R9 390X Fiji XT will be considerably shorter than the previous highest end cards. If you were to take the ‘average’ R9 290X, the height can vary.

There’s been a bunch of rumors concerning AMD’s 300 series GPU, but easily the most consistent is the 390X will sport High Bandwidth Memory (HBM). Early reports indicated that the card would boast only 4GB, but a few rumors have since surfaced we’d see an 8GB version of the GPU. Recently, BitsandChips.it have cited.

Well, here we are again with another predicted launch and rumor for AMD’s Radeon 300 series range of GPUs. We’ve had a couple of release dates pop up already, but they’ve turned out to not be too accurate, with the previous rumors stating the cards would launch in February. February has come and gone,.

Ask any digital media expert and they’ll all agree that social media is a hugely powerful tool to communicate with your audience. It isn’t just a tool to sell your product, but to interact with your ‘fans’ and to tell them what cool stuff you’re working on. With the recent fiasco concerning Nvidia’s Geforce.

It’s fair to say that the ‘rumor’ period before a products launch is probably the most exciting; the speculation, the hype and looking for any shred of information you can lay your hands on. The latest entry into the Radeon series for AMD is no exception, and we’re all scrambling to get an idea.

The announcement from AMD of the R9 3xx series being worked on is hardly a surprising turn of events. But news AMD will have their cards on store shelves as soon as February, well that is cause for celebration.  AMD have recently held their annual even in Japan, during which they were only too.

It would appear we have the first images of the cooler to be used on AMD’s upcoming R9 300 series GPU’s. The cooler is manufactured by AseTek, who are growing in the field of liquid and hybrid cooling for GPU’s. If the cooler looks familiar, that’s because it looks quite similar to the R9.
