AMD recently announced that its next-generation series of graphics card will be launched in the upcoming Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2015. AMD picked July 16 as its official launch date and will call the event "AMD Presents: The New Era of PC Gaming."
The announcement of AMD's E3 event was made at Computex 2015, a trade show based in Taiwan.
According to Tech Spot, the event will take place at the Belasco Theater in Los Angeles. On the same day, AMD is also sponsoring a PC Gaming Show that will present latest trend and innovation in the gaming world especially in the PC platform. For those who cannot attend the event in person, AMD said that the two events the company is sponsoring will be streamed live.
After AMD's confirmation of the E3 event, many industry experts were quick to speculate that the company will release a graphics card based on the company's newest 'Fiji' Graphics Processing Unit (GPU).
AMD boasts that the upcoming AMD Fiji GPU will take advantage of the high bandwidth memory implementation (HBM), a high-performance random access memory (RAM) interface that will ultimately replace the GDDR5. In a GDDR5 interface, memory integrated circuits (IC) are placed around the GPU, HBM on the other hand stacks memory and uses an interposer in order to bring the memory near the GPU, according to Tom's Hardware.
Many industry experts believe that AMD's introduction of HBM GPU's will greatly help the company gain the top spot again in terms of gaming peripherals, especially with graphic cards.
