First AMD "Fiji" Package Shot
AMD CEO Lisa Su unveiled the company's next flagship graphics processor at an event on the sidelines of Computex, in Taipei. Arguably the biggest GPU package, measuring in at 50 mm x 50 mm, Fiji will instead reduce graphics card PCB size, because memory has been moved to the GPU package, with four 1024-bit HBM1 stacks surrounding the GPU die on the package. We detailed the chip's memory implementation at great lengths in this article. The first graphics cards based on this chip could be unveiled at E3, two weeks from now; and market launch could follow a week later.

Hunky-dory, Fury must be a forceful girl.
So, 4GB confirmed (again) - kind of spoils the fun for the Chiphell jokesters.
e*Unless you meant that she has such a great record of success that she's now up to$11,748,072 for the salary package - positively dwarfs Jen-Hsun's $9.3m
* UMC's interposer is fabbed on the 65nm process
Hopefully it gives GFX980TI a run for the money.
(don't hit me: i am just questioning ... )
1GB HBM DDR. The only difference between this and the specs that AMD seem to be using for the Fury is that AMD have programmed the DDR to run a little faster at 1.25Gbps (625MHz DDR) while upping the voltage to 1.3V VDDQ.
Thanks for that ;)
why wasnt i notified about these things!
If it's more than twice as fast as me previous card I might consider going over 500, but not over 600 for sure.
As for nvidia, it's not for me, and it doesn't matter if it were much faster than AMD really.
Anyway with those GTX680TI and the new AMD (fury?) both being priced south of a trip to the other side of the world + a brand new swimming pool, I guess I can forget about it until the tech trickles down to the acceptable (for sane enthusiast) point.
And as for DX12 level 2, I'm not sure windows10 will be trustworthy enough to get it, and I assume you need W-10 for it to have the full DX12. So the whole thing has many uncertainties.
