AMD Announces OEM Radeon 300-Series Specifications And Availability

[atheus]

I'm struggling to see the point of releasing a set of rebranded OEM products with this timing, when supposedly they're on the verge of releasing something that's actually worth looking at.

Just for grins and giggles, what the reference Fiji 390x (or whatever they call it) may look like.......

New picture from Chiphell. Please be advised, it does look photoshopped: the Radeon logo is misplaced, and PCI-E slot is quite possibly copied from Hawaii card. Yet, it’s one of the best mockups out there, so probably the best way to visualize how this card looks.

What's wrong with rebrands? It only means that those GPUs are fast enough to keep up with the new generations. By focusing development on the top-end, they waste less time and make new architectures that are more stable, efficient and powerful.

Also, GCN was meant to be an evolving product. The R7 265 and R9 285 have updated features from their "same generation" GPUs; similar to how the GTX 750 TI was Maxwell, not Kepler.

My main pet peeve about re-brands is that they muddle the notion of what is what, as if the initial lineup's re-branding (half of the 2xx models are re-branded HD7xxx) was not already confusing enough in that aspect.
