[h=1]AMD Radeon 300 Series Pricing Revealed[/h]
The pricing for the AMD Radeon 300 Series pricing leaked onto the web, from Radeon R7 370 to R9 390 that is.
In this turn wccftech claims to have sourced the prices and are so sure about it that they won't even call this a rumor. Here's what they have to say:
For anyone that’s paid attention to the discrete graphics business, even if for short a while, an aggressive performance per dollar focus from the red team will not surprise you at all. In fact many would argue that it’s been the mantra for Radeon. Providing users with performance that would otherwise only be accessible for a significantly larger premium from the green team.
AMD’s Hawaii is returning with higher clock speeds and double the VRAM. The R9 390X, replacing the R9 290X, will undoubtedly be faster than its predecessor. The higher clock speeds for the GPU core will likely enable the card to completely close the gap with the GTX 970 at 1920×1080. The doubling of memory capacity and the faster GDDR5 VRAM frequencies will enable the card to distance itself even further from the GTX 970 at higher resolutions in which the R9 290X is already ahead. A better deal however is perhaps the R9 390 8GB which is even less expensive at $329.
An Tonga based R9 380X with a 384bit interface, 2048 SPs and a clock speed north of 1000Mhz will hold its own. Especially considering that it can address the huge $130 market gap that exists between the GTX 970/R9 390 and the GTX 960/R9 380.
For the R7 series we see Pitcairn at $139 and Bonaire at $107.
Nvidia looks like Noora League and Ati lloks like Naya Pakistan
