It appears that AMD's Fiji GPU based flagship graphics card might not be called Radeon R9 390X but rather have a different naming scheme as the R9 390X has been spotted as a Hawaii GPU rebrand with 8GB of GDDR5 memory.

AMD has already announced its full Radeon R300 series graphics cards for OEMs and since most them are just rebrands, it is quite obvious that there will be plenty of rebrands, based on Hawaii, Tonga and Bonaire GPUs in the consumer market as well. While most of these GPUs will be somewhat improved, the only new GPU will be the 28nm Fiji GPU with High Bandwidth Memory.

The recent report from Wccftech.com, showing information coming from ASUS' forums, listing couple of Radeon 300 series graphics cards, suggest that R9 390X naming will indeed be reserved for Hawaii GPU rebrand with 8GB of GDDR5 memory. On the other hand, it is still possible that AMD will have two versions of the Fiji GPU based graphics card, one with 4GB HBM and other with 8GB of GDDR5 memory.

There have been plenty reports that AMD will use a naming scheme that is similar to Nvidia's Geforce Titan for its flagship Fiji GPU based graphics card and judging from this info, it appears that this just might be true.

As you already know, AMD also has a Tonga XT GPU ready with 2048 Stream Processor which could end up to be the R9 380X, while R9 380 will be reserved for standard Tonga Pro GPU rebrand with 2GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit memory interface. The rest of the listed lineup will include, what is believed to be a Pitcairn GPU based R9 370 and Bonaire based R7 360X and R7 360 graphics cards.

There are still quite a few unknowns regarding AMD's upcoming Radeon R300 series graphics cards, including the price, but the entire lineup will not be that interesting interesting since the Fiji GPU will be the only new GPU while the rest of the lineup will be based on rebrands, something that we wrote about quite a long time ago.
