AMD Fiji GPU Shown – Coming to Radeon Fury on June 16th
We just learned that AMD CEO, Dr. Lisa Su, showed off the actual Fiji GPU at Computex 2015 during a press conference! The AMD Fiji GPU is rumored to be powered the upcoming AMD Radeon Fury X and Radeon Fury video cards. The website Hardware.fr was the site that broke the news and shared some information about the Fiji GPU that was previously not known. For example:
– The Fiji GPU Packaging is 50x50mm
– The interposer size is 26x32mm
– The GPU is about 20x24mm (+/- 1mm)
– There are four 1GB HBM stacks for a total of 4GB of memory
At 50mm x 50mm in size the overall size of Fiji is likely the largest GPU that we have ever seen, but luckily it has High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) included in that size and the overall board space for the GPU and memory is greatly reduced. You can read more about HBM memory in this article.
The new AMD Radeon 300 series are said to be coming out on June 16th during a press conference from E3 2015. We expect that the AMD Radeon R9 390X or Radeon Fury X will be announced at that time.
