AMD Radeon R9 Fury Specifications Leaked
AMD's second graphics card based on its 28 nm "Fiji" silicon, the Radeon R9 Fury, will be an important SKU for the company. Ahead of its rumored mid-July launch, TweakTown got a whiff of its specifications from its sources. According to them, AMD will create the R9 Fury by enabling 56 of the 64 compute units on the silicon, yielding 3,584 stream processors. This sets the TMU count at 224. We doubt AMD will tinker with the render back-ends, and so the ROP count could remain at 64. The memory configuration could remain untouched, at 4 GB of 4096-bit HBM.
The clocks speeds on the R9 Fury will be the same as the R9 Fury X, at 1050 MHz core, and 500 MHz (512 GB/s) memory. One should expect temperatures of the R9 Fury to be higher, since it's being designed for air-cooled cards, although it's not expected to cross 75°C in typical gaming scenarios. Looking at the 12.5% drop in stream processors, one could expect the performance gap between the two Fury SKUs to be around 10-12%. This makes the R9 Fury a competitor to NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 980, if it's priced in its neighborhood (± $50).

In that case how can the Nano be so small?
If they can pull that off, this'll be a card with full fury x performance, but $100 cheaper with lower power consumption. and just like the 290, will be an amazing card with a much more competitive price/performance ratio, along with power consumption closer to nvidia.
As for Fury Nano is the FULL chip. Not a cut down version. It is mentioned in the Fury X review of Anandtech as confirmed info directly from AMD. Just lower GPU speed. 800MHz maybe?
What's to stop people from putting a water cooler on Nano and overclocking it to Fury X specs then? If the chip weren't cut down, the clockspeed would have to be about 60% of Fury X to be close to 390X.
Knowing now big changes are possibly coming next year just sounds bad to buy in any of them including nVidia's range.
Don't like Fury X prices tho,and that silly braided tube or hose or whatever they named it.
Just hope performance gap not wide from R9 Fury X (just like 290 to 290X ),and price a little lower than 980.
I expect Fury in July or early August; Nano in late August or September.
