AMD Radeon 300 Series – Bermuda Graphics Card (Radeon R9 395X2)
 
The Bermuda GPU is well known to become the flagship offering of the 
Radeon 300 series. The GPU itself along with the actual Bermuda Island 
have long been a mystery. But as the dust settles, it seems like 
Bermuda GPU is not the name of an actual GPU but rather a codename for 
a dual chip graphics card. Just like Vesuvius, the chip will be 
featured in the Radeon R9 295X2’s successor, the Radeon R9 395X2 which 
is expected to launch in late 2015. The pricing of this flagship 
offering would likely stick close to the $1499 US range and will 
include again, the amazing AIO water cooler which showed its benefits 
on AMD’s best dual-chip offering.
 
AMD Radeon 300 Series – Fiji GPU (Radeon R9 390 Series)
 
The Fiji GPU is what’s going to go inside AMD’s successor to the Radeon 
R9 290X and Radeon R9 290. Initially, only two chips are to be 
expected, Fiji XT and Fiji Pro featured inside the Radeon R9 390X and 
Radeon R9 390. There’s no confirming to what specifications these might 
hold but the top chip will be featured inside the dual chip Radeon R9 
395X2 offering. Some specifications that have been previously revealed 
point out to 4096 cores and a 4 GB, 4096-bit (1024-bit per channel) HBM 
memory. The chip will be the first to adopt SK Hynix’s HBM memory 
design stacking layers upon layers of fast memory on the GPU die.We 
haven’t seen any samples or representation of what the GPU might look 
like but we are soon to get a glimpse at the product if launch is 
close. A cut down variant will be fused inside the Radeon R9 390 (Fiji 
Pro) while there’s also rumors of a third SKU called Fiji CE which will 
feature an even more cut down design and a 2 GB HBM memory design which 
just doesn’t look that great from a specifications point of view. The 
Fiji GPU will utilize the latest GCN 1.3 graphics architecture from 
what is rumored in the details.
 
AMD Radeon 300 Series – Grenada GPU (Radeon R9 380 Series)
 
The Radeon R9 380 series is going to be an interesting one since it’s 
going to be based on the Grenada GPU. We haven’t heard of this name 
before but from what it looks like, the Grenda GPU is actually a 
rebranded Hawaii as seen from its specifications. Hence we are going to 
see two SKUs, the Radeon R9 380X (Grenada XT) and R9 380 (Grenada Pro) 
featuring 2816 cores and 2560 cores respectively. There are no 
architectural enhancements to both cards and will feature the same 4 GB 
GDDR5 VRAM and 512-bit memory interface. The pricing of both cards will 
be made very attractive to gamers since Hawaii still has muscles to 
render 4K games with playable frame rates.
 
AMD Radeon 300 Series – Tonga GPU (Radeon R9 370 Series)
 
The Radeon R9 370 series is what will be the entry line to the R9 
series and would be the mainstream performance segmented lineup. Based 
on the Tonga chip, there would be two SKUs, the Tonga Pro which will go 
into the Radeon R9 370 and will feature exact specifications as the 
Radeon R9 285 while the Tonga XT with a 384-bit and 3 GB GDDR5 memory 
along with the full 2048 stream processor core would be featured inside 
the Radeon R9 370X. The Radeon R9 370X will be the true showcase of 
potential for the GCN 1.2 made, Tonga chip which has seen its current 
iteration being adopted as the not so famous, R9 285 and the R9 M295X 
GPU. The Tonga chip will tackle the GM206 based offerings since both 
will be available around the $200 US mark.
 
AMD Radeon 300 Series – Trinidad GPU (Radeon R7 360 Series)
 
The last of the lineup is the Trinidad GPU which we have heard of 
before in a previous leak. The change is that the cards it would be 
featured inside are supposed to be Radeon R7 360 series. These would be 
the entry level and above $100 market cards. Below these would be the 
R7 250 and R7 240 replacements which we don’t know of yet. The good 
thing is that these sub $150 cards would rock a 256-bit bus and 2 GB of 
GDDR5 VRAM which is a good for sweet spot and entry level cards.. Not 
much is known regarding the specifications except that these might also 
be featuring GCN 1.3 core enhancements.
 
AMD is stacking up their lineup pretty well and would all the recent 
price updates, they will make up for all the short comings they had to 
face while loosing market share to NVIDIA since the launch of the 
GeForce GTX 900 series cards. There’s no doubt that AMD wouldn’t go 
quietly without fight from the green side as we have already seen a 
glimpse at the monster that NVIDIA has kept under wraps for so long. 
Their GM200 core is soon going to hit full production and that is the 
component that is going to face the Fiji in a final battle of the most 
high-performance 28nm chips ever to be manufactured.

 on AMD’s best dual-chip offering.
 
Comunque hanno il senso dell'autoironia, glielo riconosco.
