According to a report from Videocardz.com, AMD is working on yet another single-GPU flasgship graphics card which should take on the GTX 780 Ti or even the GTX Titan Black graphics card from Nvidia.


According to the report, then graphics card will not be a simple clock speed bump version but also use the HBM (High-Bandwidth Memory) technology which stacks multiple DRAM dies into a single package, thus reducing power-draw, thermals and PCB room.

The first available HBM chips will be based on 8Gbit 4Hi which will connect to the GPU via 128-bit memory interface, and in case of Hawaii GPU, we will be looking at four memory packages. The new technology could bring higher memory clocks and thus higher memory bandwidth and AMD might even push higher GPU clocks in order to bring the performance over the GTX 780 Ti and GTX Titan Black.

The report suggest that the new card might end up with a Radeon R9 295X name but that is far from being carved in stone.

The Volcanic Island series of graphics cards are expected to be replaced by Pirate Islands series sometime in the second half of the next year and these will be first GPUs based on the 20nm manufacturing process.
