AMD has updated its roadmap for Radeon graphics card launches over the next two years, revealing some interesting bits of information. For starters, Polaris is still on track to launch this year, but we apparently won't be seeing HBM2 feature on an AMD GPU until the Vega architecture releases in 2017, then in 2018, AMD will be introducing a new ‘Next Gen' memory standard with the Navi architecture.
Polaris 10 and Polaris 11 graphics cards are coming this year, featuring the 4th generation of GCN, with new HEVC encode/decode capabilities and support for HDMI 2.0/DisplayPort 1.3. These cards will presumably début under the Radeon 400-series banner, with rumours pointing towards an end of June announcement date.

While previous reports suggested that we would see HBM2 graphics cards launching this year, it doesn't look like that will be happening, at least on AMD's part as the new memory isn't scheduled to appear until the launch of Vega graphics cards in 2017. That said, road maps can be adjusted and changed over time.
Finally, in 2018, AMD will be coming out with the Navi architecture, which will feature an unannounced Next Gen memory standard. Unfortunately, information on this is being closely guarded right now so we don't really know what to expect from it.
KitGuru Says: HBM hasn't been around for long but it looks like AMD will be bringing out even newer memory technology in just a couple of years. It will be interesting to see what else the Radeon team is cooking behind closed doors with Polaris and Vega. Are any of you currently waiting on new GPUs from AMD? Will you be upgrading this year?
If the 2.5X performance/W is true, we are talking about the biggest leap in GPU from gen to gen ever me thinks. We will know for sure in just over a month maybe?
having high hopes the 480X is mid range priced like the 380, that be great
That’d doesn’t sound too good especially if the next gen memory is only gddr5x
What the “next gen memory” things means is hard to tell with AMD it is hard to say what they will be doing. They classify the stuff media dubbed GCN 1.1-1.3 as whole “generations” of GCN despite only small differences. And then Polaris, which is a much bigger difference, is a whole generation as well. So they could mean an all new memory or just HBM3 and not want to reveal yet that there is one. The latter could be because memory makers are not yet ready to talk about it, which is fair enough since they have yet to release HBM2.
I can’t wait, I’m really interested to see how the 490x will perform, depending on that, I may wait for Vega which is the successor to fiji
The leap is likely to be in efficiency not necessarily performance-thro some is expected….
Smaller transistors generally mean less power-but can restrict clock’s…………….
Don’t expect much in performance per $. AMD needs every $ it can get,
and as for Nv-Greedy—–says it all………………………………………….

That’s exactly what I think.
It might be HBM3 or something else.
No gdrr5x will only replace normal gdrr5.
HBM2,3 and maybe something else are for the future.
Oh they forgot the 2019 slide! That is a big red box that says BANKRUPTCY! Because their debts are mounting and due soon =D
ho ho ho!
That details the embezzlement of any remaining funds by executives as they take out additional finance, before fleeing their respective countries. The final slide is probably just a picture of the board of directors in Hawaiian shirts doing cocaine off of a stripper.
