Leaked benchmark of the radeon r9 390x leaked

The AMD Radeon R300 series graphics cards are getting closer but the information regarding their specifications is still very scarce. There has been a leak of the performance of a new AMD card identified as "Captain Jack" which could be the next flagship of the company, the Radeon R9 390X.

The mysterious graphics card has been subjected to a series of benchmarks with numerous games, among which are some recent titles such as Far Cry 4 and Dragon Age: Inquisition as well as very demanding others such as Crysis 3, comparing it with a large number of cards both from AMD itself as from Nvidia.

Card performance has been averaged across all games, and the mysterious "Captain Jack" shows up as the most powerful mono-GPU solution outperforming the GeForce GTX 980 by 10fps, which means 16% more performance. than the current most powerful mono-GPU on the market.

In addition, the electrical consumption of the used cards has been measured and it has been seen that the "Captain Jack" consumes 197W, which means a consumption of just 12W more than the GeForce GTX 980, which exceeds performance without problems, so it can claim that AMD has managed to improve the energy efficiency of the new graphics card.

It is not mentioned whether the "Captain Jack" mounts a GPU manufactured in 20nm or 28nm, so we cannot know if the improvement in energy efficiency is due to the process of manufacturing at less nm, or if it is due to a improvement of the GCN architecture.
