the 390 is just the 290x rebrand. The real question is the Radeon Fury cardsIt does say 8GB, so there is hope.

Hope that the 290X rebrand will ship with 8GB?It does say 8GB, so there is hope.
So, if i follow that down to it's essence, this argument is based via 3 or so intermediate stops on AMDs driver certification for OpenCL 2.0:It looks like it is using GCN1.2 or even better.

http://developer.amd.com/tools-and-...sdk/system-requirements-driver-compatibility/
Which basically only means what they bother to certify for OpenCL and what not.
Our sources at AMD however also mentioned a new GCN 1.2 / 2.0 chip that the new M300 series is based on (Tonga derivate with support for DirectX 12 and Vulkan).
AMD also swore that Sea Islands wasn't an architecture name but included things like Oland, and snuck in TrueAudio into the Bonaire 7790 (and I believe it's not active on those products). Their answers to certain types of architectural questions should not be considered absolute, especially if for some reason they wanted to hide anything.GCN1.1 and further is only said to support OpenCl2.0 by AMD. And they seem to have introduced it first in those laptop chips if Bonaire wasn't the first and it went unnoticed.
XFX uploaded some 390X pics on their 290X DD page:
Maybe they also upgraded the entire Evergreen family 4 years ago without anyone noticing.
I stand by my earlier assumption: AMD's latest drivers bring support for OpenCL 2.0 in any OpenCL 1.2-compliant device. It's just that OpenCL 2.0-specific functions run in the CPU and that's it.
only the software developer can decide which workload runs on which device
20% over Geforce 750 Ti (GM107). Sounds about right for Pitcairn:
FWIW, in our performance Index, R9 270 is 25% faster than 750 Ti with a small part of it due to larger framebuffer which helps in 4k. In the unpublished, isolated 1080p-index R9 270 is 23 percent faster thatn 750 Ti. Hopes are dwindling.No, full pitcain, ie 270x is closer to 50% faster than 750ti. http://www.computerbase.de/2015-05/17-grafikkarten-von-amd-und-nvidia-im-vergleich/2/
Could be a salvage version of course.
