[Exclusive] AMD Radeon Fury Fiji GPU Die Pictured - 300 Series Coming This Month

We exclusively brought you lot the commencement images of AMD's upcoming flagship Radeon graphics card, Fury, featuring HBM and today we're bringing you an exclusive expect at the GPU dice itself. It'south not a render, it's non a reconstruction, this is what FIji looks similar in its bare form.

Once the water cooling cold plate is removed yous are greeted with a sizable GPU from the reddish team, what appears to be their largest by far. Along with 4 Loftier Bandwidth Memory stacks. We're glad to written report that the Fiji GPU really looks identical to the dice reconstruction we talked about a week ago. Which was based on various official renders by AMD that showed various parts of Fiji.

Fiji Die Reconstruction Past Videocardz

Previously in that location was talk of AMD actually having to use a heat spreader, much like what Intel uses for Knight'due south landing, to distribute the estrus evenly between the GPU and the HBM stacks. Still it's clearly evident that this is not the instance. As cooler cold plates volition be mounted direct on-die rather than on a heat spreader. Which is good news because direct contact with the die is significantly better for thermals.

Almost a month agone nosotros brought you an exclusive look at what AMD's flagship water cooled "ultra-enthusiast" Radeon graphics card actually looks similar. The same bill of fare that is now rumored to be called Fury. Fury isn't actually an entirely new name. In fact the make was used a very long time ago past ATi in the Rage era earlier the debut of the Radeon brand. AMD took over all of ATi'due south assets when it acquired the company back in 2008, including its brands. And then it's not implausible to see AMD bring some of these old brand names back.

This graphics bill of fare will officially be AMD'due south and the world's first graphics processor to feature Loftier Bandwidth Retention technology. The next generation JEDEC 3D stacked graphics retention arrangement co-developed by SK Hynix and AMD. We covered this retentivity applied science in detail final year and again when AMD officially announced it final month.

A photograph, not a render, of the graphics card was later teased by none other than the almost vocal Drape advocate and the mastermind technical director for EA'due south Frostbite engine, Johann Andersson. This is the photo that you can come across above. However fifty-fifty though information technology looks exactly equally the return past AMD, the photo was cleverly taken in an awkward angle to hide the h2o cooling setup. Which plainly AMD intends for it to be a surprise for enthusiasts, even though we exclusively reported that information technology was coming months agone.

Permit's briefly revisit Fiji's exclusive "secret weapon", High Bandwidth memory.
HBM represents the revolutionary step that has been so desperately needed in the development of graphics retention standards. The kickoff generation of HBM promises to deliver 4.5X the bandwidth of GDDR5 and a staggering 16 times the bandwidth of DDR3.
The second generation promises to double the bandwidth by doubling the speed from 1Gbps to 2Gbps. While likewise quadrupling the retention capacity for 4-Hi stacks from 1GB to 4GB. HBM2 will be featured in AMD's upcoming Arctic Islands graphics architecture with the "Greenland" flagship GPU.

Autonomously from the bandwidth boost and power savings HBM also offers an additional benefit and that is size. Considering High Bandwidth Retentiveness is vertically stacked, it offers much greater densities per mm². And so there are immense area savings on the DRAM chips themselves and the printed excursion lath as well. Enabling far more meaty form factors than earlier as is evident by the photo of the Republic of the fiji islands board that was teased on twitter.

Nosotros've got news that the launch date for Fiji will exist the 24th of June, exactly 12 days after E3 kicks off. The residue of the 300 series will launch on June 18th a week prior to Fiji XT. These launch dates are non official by any ways but we have reason to believe that they're reasonably authentic. In the meantime stay tuned as nosotros bring yous more coverage of Republic of the fiji islands and the rest of the 300 series lineup.
