AMD Radeon R9 380X to Formally Launch This Month

After 3 years AMD showed no increase in its mid segment with a "new" GPU replacing the 7950 and 7970.
This is no 3-year progress. It's a joke.

What are you speaking about?

3 years ago mid range was 7850/7870. Now Mid range is 380/380X, if we count the Fiji as something special and 390 as high end. Otherwise you could look at 390 as mid range which is a monster compared to 7850.

Even 380 has 70% more compute units than 7850, still 256 bus, but with delta color compression this time and many other goodies, like GCN 1.2 vs GCN 1.0, True Audio, VCE 3.0 instead of 1.0, 4k video decode acceleration, freesync ... and so on.
