AMD Announces the Radeon R9 Fury Graphics Card
AMD announced the second graphics card based on its swanky new "Fiji" silicon, the Radeon R9 Fury. Positioned between the R9 390X and the R9 Fury X, this card offers higher pixel-crunching muscle than the R9 390X, while giving you cutting-edge 4 GB HBM memory. It can play any game at 2560 x 1440, and at Ultra HD (3840 x 2160), with reasonable eye-candy. The R9 Fury is designed solely for AMD's AIB partners to come up with their own air-cooled products.
AMD carved the R9 Fury out of the Fiji silicon, by enabling 56 of the 64 GCN compute units physically present, yielding 3,584 stream processors. Other specifications include 224 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and 4 GB of memory across a 4096-bit wide HBM interface. The core is clocked at 1000 MHz, and the memory at 500 MHz (512 GB/s). Custom-design boards will offer factory-overclocked speeds. AMD is pricing the R9 Fury at US $549.

If anything would happen is a Fury XT as cherry picked Fury X chips with a higher clocked core at higher price and there's no reason to think that'll happen either.
Review is up! gogogo
If were strictly talking about the Nano, they already said (I believe) it was supposed to compete against the GTX 970 in terms of performance. So likely it will be a new Fiji based chip fully unlocked with significantly less stream processors. That is probably what it is going to be based on the limited information available.
There is no way possible they are going to manage a single fan miniITX design with a full Fiji, it just isn't going to happen, unless the made the thing a freakin' jet engine, and then that completely defeats the purpose doesn't it? It won't be a new chip, just a even more cut down Fiji. That is my point from the beginning, not sure why you argued with it if you think they'll just use a cut down Fiji too.
It also hit 68, that's not very hot especially looking across the board. Plus it's power consumption is not bad looking across the board so I can see more dual fan variants soon enough. eh, probably not unless it's a blower or they do some odd design ... I didn't I was just adding not arguing (or not intending to).
Here where I live, it's an $800 dollar card after tax :confused:
Id love a FuryX but not for $850 :(
People expect far too much charity from a privately owned, profit driven (shareholder) company. The notion AMD are the consumer friends only comes from playing second fiddle to Intel and up until 290x, clearly second fiddle to Nvidia. Now they can arguably claim performance equality with Nvidia on stock levels, so they have no justification to go 'cheap'. In fact, their shareholders wouldn't be happy if they quickly slashed prices on Fiji.
