Next Gen AMD GPUs to Get a Massive Energy Efficiency Design Focus
AMD's upcoming generations of GPUs will get a massive design focus on energy-efficiency and increases in performance-per-Watt, according to a WCCFTech report. The first of these chips, codenamed "Arctic Islands," will leverage cutting edge 10 nm-class FinFET silicon fab technology, coupled with bare-metal and software optimization to step up performance-per-Watt in a big way. The last time AMD achieved an energy efficiency leap was with the Radeon HD 5000 series (helped in part by abysmal energy efficiency of the rivaling GeForce GTX 400 series).

Ipc is not the most important metric these days as the billions of multi core ,high efficiency arm chips sold shows, least thats what i think.
Edit:
One more go here.
You're an ass. I say this, because whenever I said the exact same thing in the past, that is what I was called. I'd prefer not to be a coward, and not address this.
I'm not incapable of taking the criticism, only unwilling to allow such a double standard to exist. If you'd care to make a comment I'd suggest a PM, assuming that gets past the ignore system.
It was never supposed to be "the fastest", they took on 980 and it is faster than 980 (Ti was released just to spoil the launch).
Fury is a family of products, some having no competition whatsoever (Nano) some coming with water cooling out of the box (X) and some with air cooling (non X).
Slower? Ah, at 1080p? Oh well...
At other resolutions, there was that lovely fishy thingy going with benchmarks:
IXBT.com FireStrike 1440p = FuryX is 3.4% faster
Guru3d.com FireStrike 1440p = 980 TI is 6.2% faster
IXBT.com GTA5 1440p = FuryX is 5% faster
Guru3d.com GTA5 1440p = 980 TI is 16.2% faster
IXBT.com Shadows of Mordor 1440p = FuryX is 18.7% faster
Guru3d.com Shadows of Mordor 1440 = 980 TI is 2.1% faster

And heck, if that is not enough, just slap more "nVidia bribed devs" games into the mix or use even older driver. Cool stuff.
From that we get @btarunr with his TITLE that inflates with rhetoric of "Massive Energy Efficiency Design Focus"
This is old news... a short snippet based on a May 2015 slide, and we are lulled into discussing what is just "A Focus toward a Energy Efficiency Design" into some huge promise with Massive improvements.
I also don't believe WCCFT "analogy" that the two new "these new GPUs will be powering the high-end enthusiast and the performance sector". I'd be more of the option that these are Hawaii and Tonga replacement for Mid-to-High segment, while permitting Tonga to move down to Pitcairn parts and commence their EoL.
