MSI R300 series supposedly leaked

[greatnoob]

Take with a huge grain of salt but theres also an unboxing video!

All of the chips that are featured in the new Radeon 300 series lineup make use of new naming schemes for existing GPUs. For instance, the Radeon R9 390X is based on the Grenada XT (Hawaii XT) core that has 2816 stream processors, 176 TMUs and 64 ROPs. The card packs a clock speed of 1100 MHz on the MSI’s Gaming model and has the 8 GB GDDR5 VRAM clocked at 6100 MHz that runs across a 512-bit wide I/O interface. The chip has a 208W TDP which could possibly be a mistake since Hawaii has a TDP range of around 280W and MSI also listed the same TDP for the reference Hawaii cards (290X) during launch which turned out to be a marketing mistake. The more surprising bit is that the Grenada Pro is also based on the Hawaii XT core die but has lower clock speeds on the core of 1060 MHz while the other specifications remain the same. Both top end cards feature the latest Twin Frozr V heatsink which will deliver adequate cooling performance to Hawaii and features Dual-DVI, HDMI and Display port connectors.

Supposedly, there is a dedicated thread for the discussion of random slides that mean nothing... take it with a grain of salt though.

Not necessarily a mistake.
Tonga was originally 918 mhz 190W part.
380 is a 1000mhz 150 watt part. That's a 20% power consumption drop. While slightly bumping memory speed and doubling it's size.

If they drop Hawaii power consumption by the same amount, then 250 watts should drop down to about 200 watts.

Already covered in the other thread.

MSI already lists 208W for their current 290X card. So 208W for the MSI 390X is the same.
