R9 290x Important specs:
- 11 CUs
- 44 SIMDs
- 2816 ALU

hmm this is strange and interesting at the same time

Then i looked someone from other forum posted this:

Splitted into 4 ?

each SIMD now represent older CU ? more scalar , smaller vector unit but more ? , but also make sense for efficiency
