Rumored to launch tomorrow, August 27th, AMD's Radeon R9 Nano will be the most powerful mini-ITX graphics card on the market and we now finally have the full specifications.

Leaked by Videocardz.com, the slide shows all the juicy specifications for the upcoming Radeon R9 Nano, including the fact that it will be based on a fully enabled Fiji GPU. Surprisingly, unlike the R9 Fury, which uses a cut-down version of the Fiji GPU, with 3584 Stream Processors, the R9 Nano will be based on a fully enabled Fiji GPU, packing 4096 Stream Processors, 256 TMUs and 64 ROPs as well as 4GB of High Bandwidth Memory on a 4096-bit memory interface.

With clocks seat at up to 1000MHz for the GPU and 500MHz (1.0Gbps effective) for memory, the upcoming Radeon R9 Nano is not far behind the flagship R9 Fury X. What comes as a surprise is that it has a 175W TDP, compared to th 275W TDP on the R9 Fury X. In order to keep the TDP as low as possible, AMD might have implemented a more aggressive power/temperature based throttle, which we will see when the first reviews show up.

The PCB on the R9 Nano is much smaller than the one on the Fury X and it uses a much weaker 4+2-phase VRM, compared to the 6+2-phase one on the Fury X.

In any case, it appears that the R9 Nano will be quite a powerful little graphics card and could easily outperform the R9 Fury and get close to the R9 Fury X. On the other hand, this also means that the price could be quite high as our sources suggesting US $549 as the launch price.
