14 DAY TRIAL // Some details about the upcoming AMD Radeon dual GPU card have finally been leaked. It seems that a leak online has listed a “Fiji Gemini” shipped from AMD's headquarters in Canada to India. If we think about the name for a second, Gemini is the astrological sign signifying twins, so it quickly becomes obvious that it might be the possible name for a future dual GPU card.
According to a source cited by the Zauba website hosting import and export data from and to India shows six PCB cards being shipped from Canada to the Hyderabad airport in India carrying the codename "Fiji Gemini." The cards come with a cooler and a heatsink, meaning that we're probably dealing with a prototype arriving in India for quality control.
Right now, the card is quite mysterious since it carries a couple of codenames that could mean many things. First, the Gemini name is probably a fairly straightforward hint towards a dual-GPU card, but the other, the "Tobermory," remains elusive.
It's highly likely that this is just the name of the Canadian port the card came from, something that is not usually mentioned in the shipping manifest, or it can be the codename of the card itself, while Gemini is a new card class. It's a bit confusing, but surprising nonetheless.
Not matter the name, it will probably be the most powerful graphics card in the world
Although carrying the codename Radeon R9 Fury X2 for a while, it appears that another moniker was chosen for the card, as either an internal codename or an official name. The other details referring to the cooling solutions indicate that the new dual GPU Fury will use the same Cooler Master heatsink found in water cooling solutions used by the Fury X graphics cards launched this summer.
As a quick reminder, the dual Fury GPU will apparently carry over 8192 stream processors in 128 CUs, and while one single R9 Gemini GPU will deliver an impressive performance of 8.6 TFLOPs, a dual setup can boast an incredible 17.2 TFlops computing power, which makes the new graphics adapter the most powerful GPU tandem system in the world.
