Here's the thing about graphics cards: we spend an inordinate amount of time contemplating the advancements of the next iteration of hardware, only to find out (most of the time) those assumptions are generally close to the truth. Take the latest leak from , for example. If their source is to be believed, the Radeon R9 390X is going to pack in a substantial boost to performance.
As previously expected, the next card from AMD will be dubbed the Radeon 390X. The GPU will boast a 1250 MHz memory clock, 4,096 stream processors, and if this report is to be believed, the 390X will function as the hardware manufacturer's new flagship card. And given the supposed specs, that should come as no surprise.
Additionally, the new card will allegedly pack in 4096 cores, with 8GB HBM at 2 GB per stack, via Dual-Link. The 28nm GPU will supposedly feature 8.6 teraFLOPS of performance, beating Nvidia's GeForce GTX Titan X (which currently offers 6.2 TFLOPS) by a significant amount.Well, assuming these leaks are true, of course. But AMD did recently say the company is .
