The next generation of AMD GPUs, currently known as Greenland, was first mentioned near the end of March and into early April. At the time not much was revealed other than the fact that the cards were expected to be available in 2016 and they would use HBM2. Some more significant information is now available with the reveal that Greenland will be an entirely new microarchitecture with a brand new instruction set architecture, rather than another iteration of the current Graphics Core Next architecture. The GPUs will also boast "twice the power efficiency of GCN, where we can expect these GPUs to be made on the 16nm FinFET or 14nm process, with a serious jump on the number of stream processors when compared to the Fiji architecture." Consumers can also expect 8GB or 16GB of HBM2 on their cards while enthusiast and professional cards will pack up to 32GB.
