Most of the latest new products from AMD and NVIDIA with rare exceptions are renamed previous video cards generation. Autumn, the situation should be slightly variable - both companies produce solutions which, although will be based on the old 28-nanometer production technology, will present an entirely new GPU.
First with AMD GPU Tonga : It should make debut in August or September and replace Tahiti, released in late 2011 as the Radeon HD 7000 series today presented in video cards Radeon R9 280 and Radeon R9 280X. Tonga will receive a 2048 stream processors, 256-bit memory interface, and its performance level will match the video card Radeon R9 280X with power consumption comparable to the Radeon R9 270X.
In the fourth quarter - in October or November - NVIDIA released GPU GM204, which must be registered in the upper price segment. About the processor is not known, but it is assumed that it will be GM204 architecture Maxwell second generation, while GM107, familiar from the GeForce GTX 750 and GeForce GTX 750 Ti, belongs to the first generation.
