According to the latest report, AMD's Radeon R9 380X could come in Q2 2015 and pack 4096 Stream Processors as well as 4GB of 3D stacked High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM).

The latest report comes from Sweclockers.com, which are usually pretty accurate, but considering that these are still early rumors, you should always take them with a grain of salt. According to that same report, the Fiji XT GPU will be actually named as the R9 380X, rather than R9 390X, which also suggest that we might see an even higher-end graphics card after the Fiji XT GPU.




The report pretty much follows earlier 4096 Stream Processors rumors as well as 4GB of 3D stacked HBM (High-Bandwidth Memory), which is around 9 times faster than the standard GDDR5 memory. With such high number of GCN cores/Stream Processors, the new R9 380X could end up over 45 percent faster than the R9 290X, and that is without architecture improvements and the new 3D stacked HBM.

There have been plenty of rumors that AMD plans a refresh of its current graphics card lineup and while we have wrote about the Curacao GPU refresh with Trinidad GPU earlier, we would not be surprised that AMD will also refresh its famous Hawaii GPU as well.
