In order to put as much possible pressure on Nvidia in almost every segment on the market, AMD is apparently also working on a yet another Radeon R7 series GPU, the R7 265.

According to a couple of first informations coming from VR-Zone, the upcoming R7 265 is not based on the Bonaire GPU but rather uses a cut-down Curacao GPU, which is the same chip behind both the R9 270 and the R9 270X graphics cards. Although both R9 270 series graphics cards share the same 1280 Stream Processor configuration, the upcoming R7 265 will be somewhat more similar to the Radeon HD 7850 and pack 1024 Stream Processors, 64 TMUs, 32 ROPs and a 256-bit memory interface paired up with GDDR5 memory.

The GPU should end up clocked somewhere in the 900MHz range while memory should end up at 4.8GHz.

According to first information, AMD might launch it with a price tag of US $149 to US $159.
