Graphics Processor AMD Fiji among the first mass-produced products offered HBM memory type. Although its volume is four gigabytes now seems little in the background promises to produce graphics cards with 64 GB of memory type HBM3, video cards based on Fiji are unique offerings on the market.
German colleagues have paid attention to the fact that the graphics card Radeon R9 Fury X in the local retail continues to become cheaper. At the moment, prices begin from 399 euros, and in fact it is only offered in the standard version, and AMD's partners do not have much margin for maneuvering the price. Apparently, AMD deliberately reduces the cost of Radeon R9 Fury X.
The question is, what factors motivate AMD cut the price on the Radeon R9 Fury X? This may be increased competition from generation NVIDIA graphics solutions Pascal, and perhaps the proximity of the announcement of Vega-generation products. They will support HBM2 memory type . Some sources believe that in order to accelerate the announcement of Vega company may first present version, equipped with GDDR5 memory or GDDR5X.
