AMD R9 Fury X2 to launch in next two months

Alleged specification details revealed

According to the latest report, AMD might launch its Radeon R9 Fury X2 graphics card in the next two months and it will be based on two fully-enabled Fiji GPUs.

While the official product name has not been carved in stone and it is still referred as the Gemini, according to a report from Wccftech.com, the new AMD dual-GPU flagship graphics card should launch within the next two months and will be based on two fully-enabled Fiji GPUs with 8GB of HBM (4GB per GPU).

According to the report, AMD engineers have been working on optimizing clock speeds, power and CrossfireX scaling. The precise clock speeds have been worked out and two Fiji GPUs will be clocked at up to 1000MHz, while 8GB of High Bandwidth Memory (4GB per GPU) will end up at standard 500MHz clock.

The most important piece of information is that we are looking at two fully-enabled Fiji GPUs with 4096 Stream Processors each, ending up with 8192 Stream Processors, 128 GCN Compute Units, 512 TMUs and 128 ROPs.

According to the report, AMD is targeting 80 percent boost in 4K/UHD and 1440p gaming compared to the R9 Fury X at the same frequency. According to the report, AMD will most likely use some sort of liquid cooler for dual-Fiji flagship graphics card.

AMD will probably try to release the new Radeon R9 Fury X2 before Christmas shopping season and while the price has not been confirmed yet, we doubt that it will be cheap.
