For what it's worth, if AMD's methodology for typical board power is consistent with other boards its given figures for, the stock consumption for FuryX appears to be the same neighborhood as Tahiti and Hawaii instead of being higher.
edit: found a more clear figure for the 290X's typical power, so Fury is slightly higher.
Which can be a result of improved PowerTune managing to dance even closer to the TDP limit.
I'm quite intrigued by AMD's open claim of building this card for overclocking. Hawaii was very medicore at overclocking even with very good coolers, but if Fiji can consistently reach 1.3GHz+ (10TF) it can be quite a popular card for overclockers and gamers regardless of power consumption in that state.
BTW do we already know where is Fiji manufactured? Is it still TSMC or did AMD move to GloFo?
