While there have been plenty of leaks recently, the recent one shows a possible Trinidad GPU benchmark, a 28nm GPU that should replace the Curacao Pro GPU.


While it is named as the AMD R9 xxx in GFXBench.com database, it is anyones guess which graphics card are we actually talking about and what naming scheme will AMD use, but according to the result, it is possible that we are actually looking at the recently revealed Trinidad GPU, the one that should replace the AMD Curacao GPU, the one behind the R9 270 graphics card.

While there have not been many details regarding the specifications of the 28nm Trinidad GPU, AMD's CEO, Lisa Su, has confirmed it in a recent investors conference call and there have been some previous leaks regarding it.

One of the first leaks suggested that the Trinidad GPU will have quite similar specifications and performance as the Curacao GPU and come with 2GB of GDDR5 memory paired up with a 256-bit memory interface. Of course, Trinidad GPU will definitely be based on a newer Graphics Core Next 1.2 architecture and have similar feature set as the R9 285 based on the Tonga GPU.

Even the leaked benchmark does not reveal much information, or at least no concrete information regarding the actual realistic performance as we are looking at Manhattan OpenGL ES 3.0 and T-Rex OpenGL ES 2.0 tests, where the new R9 xxx graphics card is significantly faster than the AMD Radeon R9 270. Of course, the end result should lie somewhere between those numbers but we will rather wait for the official launch.

AMD certainly needs a good mid-range GPU now that Nvidia has launched its sweet-spot GTX 960 at US $199.
