In addition to the Radeon R7 300 series, AMD announced the Radeon R9 380 performance-segment graphics card. Available in 2 GB and 4 GB variants, with the 2 GB variant priced at $199, to compete with NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 960, and the 4 GB variant about $50 costlier, the card can play any of today's games at 1080p, with eye-candy maxed out, but can also play them at 1440p, with reasonably high settings.

Based on the 28 nm "Tonga" silicon, the R9 380 packs 1,792 stream processors based on the latest GCN 1.2 architecture, with 112 TMUs, 32 ROPs, and up to 4 GB of memory across a 256-bit wide memory interface. Its core is clocked at 970 MHz, with the memory at 5.70 GHz (GDDR5 effective), churning up 184 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The card's typical power draw is rated at 190W, it draws power from a pair of 6-pin PCIe power connectors.

Wow at least it has GCN 1.2 (good for DX 12)

It's a straight up rebrand of the R9 285 which also has GCN 1.2 architecture. Core clock got a bump from 918MHz to 970, and memory from 5500 to 5700. Board power remains the same at 190W
 
Does this do 1/4 rate double precision like the 7970? I get confused on this with Tonga in there.

Tonga has a native double precision rate of 1/16.
