As we are drawing closer to AMD's official launch date for new Radeon 300 series graphics cards, scheduled for June 16th, it does not come as a surprise that we have plenty of fresh reports, including the one saying that Fiji XT based Fury X is actually around 54 percent faster than Radeon R9 290X.

According to the earlier report and the new full specification list coming from Wccftech.com, the Radeon Fury X, based on Fiji XT GPU, will pack 4096 Stream Processors, 64 GCN Compute Units (CUs), 128 ROPs, 256 TMUs and 4GB of HBM on a 4096-bit memory interface. The GPU will be clocked at 1050MHz+ while an effective memory clock will be 1GHz, providing 512GB/s of memory bandwidth.

With these specifications, the Fury XT should end up to be around 54 percent faster than the Hawaii XT based Radeon R9 290X. With the TDP of 300W, the Fury X will also end up 48 percent more power efficient compared to the R9 290X, which is a great result.

First OpenCL CompuBench benchmark results of the Fury X have been leaked earlier showing that Fury X packs enough compute performance to beat Nvidia's GM200 based GTX Titan X in some benchmarks. It is still early to talk about performance numbers as AMD is probably still tweaking the final driver so there will be room for improvement but recent report suggest that Fury X is trading blows with the GTX 980 Ti, winning in some and losing in some games.

In any case, we will know for sure after June 16th when AMD is expected to launch its Radeon 300 series including the Radeon Fury X.
