Next AMD Flagship Single-GPU Card to Feature HBM
AMD's next flagship single-GPU graphics card, codenamed "Fiji," could feature High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM). The technology allows for increased memory bandwidth using stacked DRAM, while reducing the pin-count of the GPU, needed to achieve that bandwidth, possibly reducing die-size and TDP. Despite this, "Fiji" could feature TDP hovering the 300W mark, because AMD will cram in all the pixel-crunching muscle it can, at the expense of efficiency from other components, such as memory. AMD is expected to launch new GPUs in 2015, despite slow progress from foundry partner TSMC to introduce newer silicon fabs; as the company's lineup is fast losing competitiveness to NVIDIA's GeForce "Maxwell" family.

You are more than likely thinking of Zen, the generation after Carrizowhich is mooted to be specced for DDR4 support and made on Globalfoundries (Samsung) 14nm-XM process.
how awesome would a fm3 with drr4 be if the cpu side went up to 8 threads and had some ipc to turn heads.
My guess is 380s & 390s will be HBM with lower tiers still using DDR5. The talked about late Q1 to Q2 300 series release will put HBM 2 production in line with a 400 series release Q3 2016/Q1 2017
Maybe he is going to fix cards that aren't using there full 4GB perhaps
If it's supposedly graphics related thenit ain't happening anytime soon. Of course, Gibbo stipulates "new product" so I guess there's a chance that the HD 7970 gets a fourth rebranding as a 300 series card!
Didn't he pay you a visit ?
After AMD's last publicity extravaganza, I wonder if the lastest video is preparation for the announcement of the R9 285's launch in SomaliaSo, just a placeholder for the dust-laden press release that proclaims three consecutive profitable financial quarters!If he did, he didn't get past the front door, as with any other door-knocking religious zealots or panhandlers who happen by.Don't underestimate AMD's marketing. This is a company that marketed a supposedly high-end platform with a cheesy comic bookblatantly announcing AMD's insecurity regarding Intel.
