A web-site has published the first images of AMD’s third graphics card based on the code-named “Fiji” graphics processing unit – the AMD Radeon R9 Nano. The publication of the picture indicates that AMD had already finalized specifications of the product and recently started to ship it to select partners.
Iyd.Kr web-site this week published two images of AMD Radeon R9 Nano, the highest-performing small form-factor graphics card for mini-ITX systems. The graphics board looks exactly like on renders by Advanced Micro Devices: it seems to have a very solid design and its cooling system looks very compact.
The Radeon R9 Nano is reportedly based on the fully-fledged “Fiji” graphics processing unit with 4096 stream processors, 256 texture units, 64 raster operations pipelines and 4096-bit memory interface. The card is equipped with 4GB of high-bandwidth memory operating at 1GHz, which provides 512GB/s of bandwidth.
Peak thermal design power of the graphics adapter is 175W, but its final GPU clock-rate is unknown. Unofficial estimates point to 830MHz – 900MHz frequency, but AMD keeps the final specifications under wraps.
Pricing of AMD Radeon R9 Nano is yet to be discovered. AMD plans to officially unveil the product in August.
AMD did not comment on the news-story.

KitGuru Says: Keeping in mind that AMD has started to ship samples of the product to its partners, it is now a matter of time before the final specs and performance numbers of the AMD Radeon R9 Nano leak.
Nano card got noticed by internet senpai <3
Looks really neat and nice specs for something that small, curious about the pricing though…
Everything is riding on the price, IMO. 175W is close to GTX980’s rated 165W mark. It would be nice to beat that card, but I suspect there isn’t much point in overclocking. But hey, most gamers don’t overclock, it isn’t a requirement to “play” a game; so again, price is everything.
Back when this card was first announced they said it was going to be faster than the R9 290X. Well right now the R9 390/390X is faster than the R9 290X so I’m thinking, Is the R9 Nano performance going to be similar to the R9 390X with lower TDP & Heat?
I wish the Fury Nano was going to release now with Fury X and not during the summer…I want to see the benchmarks…if it’s faster than 390x without costing a small fortune then that will be my next video card…6 inches long vs my current 280x at over 12 inches is incredible.

Looks like it’s meant to be DYI steam-machine kit. What a tiny little card!

I’d like to get this GPU downscaled into a laptop dedicated GPU.
It could theoretically end up being a 100W MXM 3.0b card.
The slot is technically compatible, so there shouldn’t be any issues… and performance on that power envelope would probably be on par or very close to 290x 🙂
Depends.
The 390x seems to be faster due to higher clocks, and more vRAM.
It is possible that since R9 Nano seems to be using a new architecture which achieved something similar/same like Maxwell did, I wouldn’t be surprised if the 100W version (if it is downscaled for laptops in this form factor) ends up being as fast as 290X.
I just want it asap!
*no comment*silence* no tech giant wants to talk to lie spreading tech sites anymore.. zero creditability haha
looking from the spec, maybe the price will be more than $300.
but i still hope that it can be cheaper.
I look forward for the review and price. Because it’ll be the best pair with my CoolerMaster Elite 110 mini-itx case.
maybe, even if its still the most powerful itx card, which is what they are going for
