Some recent leaks from Sweclockers, a website for video card enthusiasts, may have given us a look at what this year’s video card war will look like. According to the website, the first high-end card from AMD this year will be the Radeon R9 380X, which is expedited to boast 4,096 GCN cores and 4GB of the new high-bandwidth memory RAM.

The video card enthusiast website Sweclockers has released a set of slides and photos packed with technical specs and details about AMD’s first high end card of 2015, the Radeon R9 380X. If the early predictions are to be taken as gospel, the R9 380X will feature 4,096 GCN cores, along with 4GB of the new HBM (high-bandwidth memory) RAM. The card will run on the back of AMD’s upcoming Fiji XT line of GPUs, and will supposedly post a 45% increase in performance over the current cream of the company’s crop, the R9 290X. No one knows for certain how this information slipped out to the public, but it’s suspected the website was able to get their hands on an early version of the card (and its datasheets) originally meant for testers only.
