    It was reported a while ago that the Tonga chip supports 384-bit memory width. So the R9 380X still isn't a fully fledged Tonga card? I don't get it.

        OK links not approved, lets read it for myself

        edit: ah it appears now.

        This is supported by amdgpu? More CUs, more TMUs, more SPs, more ACE... but also custom variants will be availabe, brrr. so i guess not quite by now

          "Rumored" is probably more correct than "reported" - AFAIK the Tonga memory bus is 256-bit.

            Michael, I would personally rather not see you waste a bunch of time/money on rebadged cards. Of course, if people are interested enough in a rebadged product to fund a full review, go for it.

              Ah, okay. It was a very repeated rumour then.

                Yep... it came from "usually reliable sources" so was copied further & wider than your typical tech rumor.

                I suspect the info resulted from the careful and correct analysis of a die shot which wasn't actually Tonga, but that's just a guess.

                  X? Aww, I was hoping for a lower-end AMDGPU card. Oh well.

                    Renaming hardware is so much FUN!
