AMD to start cranking out 16/14nm GPUs with HBM2
AMD will be releasing its ‘Arctic Islands’ architecture next year, its next-generation GPU architecture based on the 16nm manufacturing process, and using the next-gen HBM2. HBM2 will deliver 8GB of HBM2 on a video card, with memory bandwidth of 1024GB/sec – up from the 512GB/sec found on the Radeon R9 Fury X. But what we need to know is: what will AMD call this card? Surely it can’t be the Fury X 2, as I’m sure the dual-GPU card coming out later this year will take up the Fury X2 (no space) name. Could AMD release it as the Fury XX? Because I can’t wait to see the third iteration: Fury XXX
