Amd radeon r9 nano, specifications and performance

With a day to go before the official launch and launch of the Radeon R9 Nano, information on its specifications and performance is leaking, confirming some details that were already speculated.

Radeon R9 Nano specifications

First of all we come across some surprising specifications. The AMD Radeon R9 Nano is practically identical to the Radeon Fury X with a Fiji core with its 64 CU enabled, totaling 4, 096 Shader processors, 64 ROPs and 256 TMUs. All this running at a frequency of 1 GHz, which is only 50 MHz less frequency than the Fury X, the most surprising thing is that its TDP is only 175W (275W Fury X) and is powered by a single 8-connector pins. As for memory, there is no difference, 4 GB HBM with a 4, 096-bit interface and a huge bandwidth of 512 GB / s.

All this cooled by a small heatsink formed by a dense aluminum radiator with a copper core, a double steam chamber and a copper heatpipe cooling the VRM, all seasoned by a single fan.

AMD Radeon R9 Nano performance

AMD claims that its Radeon R9 Nano is the most powerful Mini ITX graphics card created to date and it seems to be right. According to AMD tests, the card is 30% more powerful than a GeForce GTX 970 Mini ITX under 4K resolution, always maintaining an average framerate above 30 FPS and even reaching 60 FPS in GTA V.

conclusion

According to the filtered and exposed data in this post, we find a graphics card with specifications almost identical to those of the Radeon R9 Fury X but with significantly lower energy consumption. It seems complicated that consumption can be reduced by 100W with a drop in the core frequency of only 50 Mhz, in fact the TDP of the Fury is the same as that of the Fury X with a trimmed Fiji core and the same frequency as the Nano. We will have to wait until the card is official to check if the leaked specifications are true, if it is really surprising.
