Is AMD going to release an RX 490 GPU soon?

[WYP]

Lots of evidence is appearing that suggests that AMD is releasing an RX 490 GPU soon, which will offer 4K ready gaming performance and a memory interface that is larger than 256-bit.

Posted this ages ago in Small Talk. Probably a mistake Any way

More info there about AMD's slip up (by putting it on their list of GPUs). However, it was all but confirmed by a chap at Alienware who was being interviewed about his graphics amplifier (one of those box things for GPU on a laptop) and he said "And you can just put a 490 right in there". Oops !

Either way before the end of the year is likely. Will it be worth it? time will tell on that one. That and it all depending whether AMD let the blind gibbon who priced all of their other dual GPUs put the price tag on this one. It needs to be the same as two 480s or less if it's to have a snow flake's chance in heck.
