AMD 300 Series Roadmap Leaked

[WYP]

AMD's RX 300 Series GPU Roadmap has been Leaked, AMD's Fiji might be delayed.

Read more on AMD's leaked 300 series roadmap here.

What's the point of doing rebrands? If the 390X is a 290X, it has to cost somewhere around 300$, otherwise it doesn't make any sense, since the 290X is around the price and performance of 970. And what's worst, weren't the lower end cards all rebrands of the 7000 series? What, the will rebrand them again? Things don't work like this, AMD. nVidia inovates while you are doing nothing, just releasing inaccesable cards for more than 500$.

Yup, a damn good question. Some of these chips are over 3 years old and the hawaii chips were good, but far too hot and power hungry........so rebranding the lot of them is essentially handing over the gpu market to Nvidia. It also begs the question of where the holy hell has their R&D budget gone for the last 2 years? Has it all been spent on Fiji?! If so then expect stupidly large price tags.

It'll still be cheaper than the Nvidia equivalent though.



I wonder if the X chips that are missing from the lineup will be cut down Fiji? Like the 7870 Tahiti was a cut down 7950?

Hahahaha. Sounds almost true.

 

[barnsley]

I don't get why the hate is only coming out now? Surely last time round (with Nvidia's 7xx gpus and AMD's r9-2xx gpus) it was just as bad..

Breaking news - AMD are taking steps to minimise stock disruption at their resellers by issuing an official upgrade kit.

 

[TPC]

Wow so much hate going on... I have calm down while I cuddle my GTX 770 or is it an 680?
You get my point.

 

[Davva2004]

No hate, just banter - and a bit of disappointment in the state of the industry.

Competition drives inovation, and unfortunately AMD aren't providing any competition in either the CPU or GPU market right now. So Intel can get away with barely incremental upgrades in their Skylake CPUs over Haswell because they know AMD will take years to catch up, and rebrands in the GPU industry are now commonplace because the demand to release new products outstrips the ability to develop new products.

Hahaha! Damn that's brutal but true.

If you compare pricing to pricing AMD are still OK. Not to mention that when it gets past 1080p things get closer.

Its not CPUs, AMD aren't useless.

Don't get me wrong, but it's one thing to have a rebrand of your best GPU of the last year and another thing is to rebrand something like a R9 270. For who will be the innovation if the Lower budget cards are the same as last year. The Maxwell architecture is on the 750s, while te newest architecture will be on 700$ card, that seems wrong, knowing that last time was the same. I'd lose faith in AMD if they continue doing such cards. I have a 970, don't get me wrong, but I want to give my money to whoever does better. I was planning a budget PC with an AMD APU, but it turns out that Intel's iGPU is twice as better. Go figure out what AMD was doing in the past year and a half.

They're still good, but you stop thinking of AMD as soon as you go above the 200$ mark, there is only Intel. AMD has simply no response to the i7s. Compare an i7-4770k vs an FX-9590 at 5GHz, just overclocking the i7 a little it puts to sleep the AMD counter part. I7s are not uncommon with prebuilt PC and I don't why anyone would choose an FX processor, their just ovens. Too old to be competitive.

heat can be dealt with.. and dont start a AMD-Intel war can we, think we had enough of them already..

 

[Dawelio]

Personally I think it's too much hate on AMD. Yes they are the competitior of other companies, but they are battling 2 big companies at once, meanwhile the other 2 are only competing against AMD. It's a bit of an unfair fight... AMD vs Intel and then AMD vs Nvidia.

If you look at it in that perspective and I know that someone is gonna comment on this now lol...

That's how it has been since Bulldozer released

It's their own fault for promising what they can't deliver though really. Instead of constantly ruling up their potential customers then shoving crap at them, they should just be a tad more honest...

That's kind of ironic.. that sounds more like Nvidia tbh. AMD have only fallen short with their CPUs. Their GPUs have lived upto expectations.

Their market share has been similar to Nvidia's so they have no reason to be falling behind so much. Also rebranding some chips for a 3rd generation is appalling as it begs the question of what the hell they have been doing all these years as clearly it hasn't been R&D.
