Fury X has joined the game

Except "updating GCN" to AMD just means a die shrink and adding more cores.

Edit: apparently not even a die shrink. 1000mm^2!!!

Definitely not. Even 2x 7970 would bring it up to "only" 700mm². First rumors said 600m².
Some serious websites estimated 480-540mm² by optical reengineering. So lets be a bit
conservative and put it in the Titan X range with 600mm². Still a very big chip but not
undoable.

GCN should be at least 1.2 like Tonga. Since 7970 had 1.0 and the memory controller
has changed, it'll be no simple "nailing two chips together".

In gaming benchmarks it seems to be slightly ahead of Titan X. We all know that under
hashcat everything will look differently. So let's wait and see.


EDIT: the whole package including the 4GB HBM-memory has a size of 1011mm²
