Whoever thought that Advanced Micro Devices had covered the entire price spectrum of the graphics card market with R-Series graphics card was wrong.

There is, apparently, a performance and price gap between the Radeon R7 250 ($90 / €90) and the R7 260 ($125 / €125).

So AMD will fill it by launching the Radeon R7 250X, according to VideoCardz.

The board will have 640 stream processors, 40 TMUs, 16 ROPs, a 128-bit GDDr5 memory interface and either 1 GB of 2 GB VRAM. Thus, the GPU will be a 28nm Oland silicon.

The clock will supposedly be of 1 GHz for the GPU and 4.5 GHz for the memory, leading to a bandwidth of 72 GB/s.

Listings have begun to emerge in Europe already, and the price was found to be of €90 / $121. The one pictured above and below bears Sapphire's brand.
