SuccessorPirates Islands (GPU family)[1]

The Rx 200 series is a family of GPUs developed by AMD, with the codename "Volcanic Islands" associated with it, which will succeed the Sea Islands line. A "preview" was seen on September 25, 2013.[1][2][3] The new VI GPUs will be manufactured on a 28 nm Gate-Last process through TSMC or Common Platform Alliance.[4]

The 2015 "Islands" family of GPUs will be Volcanic Islands' successor, Pirates Islands.[5]

Release

The Rx 200 series was announced on September 25, 2013, at the AMD GPU14 Tech Day event.[6] Non-disclosure agreements were lifted on October 15, except for the R9 290x, and pre-orders opened on October 3.[7]

Products

Radeon R9 290

The Radeon R9 290 and R9 290X were announced on September 25, 2013.[8][9] The R9 290 is based on AMD's Hawaii Pro chip and R9 290X on Hawaii XT. R9 290 and R9 290X will support AMD's TrueAudio, Mantle, DirectX 11.2, and bridge-free Crossfire technology. A limited "Battlefield 4 Edition" pre-order bundle of R9 290X that includes Battlefield 4 will be available on October 3, 2013, with reported initial quantity being 8,000 units, deposits will have to be made for the purchase as the price will not be revealed for some time even after the pre-orders begin. R9 290X will have 2816 Stream Processors, 176 TMUs, 64 ROPs, 512-bit wide buses, 44 compute units and 8 ACE units. The R9 290X has a launch price of $549.[10]

Chipset table

  • 1 Unified Shaders : Texture Mapping Units : Render Output Units
  • 2 Pixel fillrate is calculated as the number of ROPs multiplied by the base core clock speed.
  • 3 Texture fillrate is calculated as the number of TMUs multiplied by the base core clock speed.
  • 4 Single precision performance is calculated as 2 times the number of shaders multiplied by the base core clock speed.
  • 5 Double precision performance of Hawaii is 1/8 of single precision performance,[14] Tahiti is 1/4 of single precision performance, others 28 nm chip is 1/16 of single precision performance.
  • 6 Base clock of R9 290 and R9 290X will maintain at 947 MHz and 1000 MHz before reaching 95℃, respectively.[15]
