Amd radeon r9 fury x2 will have 12 tflops of power

AMD has shown a prototype of its AMD Radeon R9 Fury X2 graphics card equipped with two Fiji cores with their respective HBM stacked memory. The card has shown a very compact design and promises to be very powerful, although it may be slightly less than what was initially expected.

AMD's Roy Taylor has revealed some details about the AMD Radeon R9 Fury X2 saying that the card will offer around the 12 TFLOPs of computing power, a very high but quite high number of the 16 TFLOPs that were rumored and that would correspond to about twice as much as a single Radeon R9 Fury X.

With 12 TFLOPs the card would be very close in gross power to the Radeon R9 295X2 that offers 11.5 TFLOPs, where if there will be a substantial improvement it is in energy efficiency since the AMD Radeon R9 Fury X2 will have a TDP of 375W compared to 500W from its predecessor. Despite the slight difference in gross power, it is expected that the difference in real performance will be greater due to the architecture optimizations in the Fiji GPU.

With all this we can deduce that the AMD Radeon R9 Fury X2 will use two Fiji cores lowered in frequency compared to the Radeon R9 Fury X, something necessary to keep consumption and temperature at bay and that will actually make us face two Radeon R9 Nano united on a single PCB.

The card should hit the market in the second quarter of 2016.
