Today AMD posted a new video entitled "It's Coming..." to tease their upcoming graphics processor launch.

In June AMD is expected to launch the "Fiji" graphics cards under the Radeon Rx 300 series branding. These graphics cards are expected to be mighty powerful and will be the first to use High-Bandwidth Memory (HBM). The AMD Radeon R9 390X is expected to feature 4096 GCN cores, 4GB of 3D stacked HBM modules at 1.25GHz, and have a boost clock speed of around 1GHz.

The Linux support for the AMD Radeon Rx 300 graphics cards / Fiji will come via an updated Catalyst Linux graphics driver while the open-source driver support will be based on the new, experimental AMDGPU kernel DRM driver.

More details next month followed by Linux benchmarking of the new AMD graphics hardware.
