Just to note because AMD never directly said it - the R9 290 series has the only new core. All the other cards are rebrands of existing cores, although the clock speeds may be changed. This would mean the R9 280 is Tahiti, R9 270 is Pitcairn, R7 260 is Bonnaire, and R7 250 is Cape Verde.
The good news about this is that it almost surely means that all these "new" features will be enabled through driver updates rather than some fundamental hardware change in the 2xx series, and thus us 7xxx owners can enjoy the benefits (maybe with the exception of the audio DSP).
What I can't understand is how AMD can promote the anachronism that is the R7 250. This is their 2014 lineup and they're still selling cards with 1GB of memory?! For all this talk about high resolution and detailed effects they certainly don't support it throughout their entire lineup.
