June
16, 9 am PST. That's when AMD
is launching its new Fiji graphics cards with
HBM (high bandwidth memory). Or, at least, that's when AMD will finally be
talking about the graphics cards—we don't know for sure if they'll be
immediately available, or take a few weeks to hit the market. But they're
coming, and coming soon.
AMD
held a press conference at Computex on Wednesday to
talk about its new Carrizo notebook processors. A few months
back, it was rumored that AMD would launch Carrizo at the hardware show in
Taipei, but that didn't turn out to be the case, perhaps because E3 seemed like
a better event to launch a graphics card, or due to some position jockeying
with Nvidia's 980 Ti. We'll have to wait a couple weeks to find out what
AMD has cooked up.
While
AMD's Computex press event was mostly about notebook APUs, the GPU
powering AMD's new cards did make a brief appearance in Taipei,
however—CEO DR. Lisa Su held
up the GPU on stage to tease the E3 reveal.
