Reports are circulating AMD has specifically forbade any hardware partners from showcasing any Radeon 300 series graphics cards during Computex Taipei next week.

If the rumours are true, AMD is instead waiting until E3 2015 as previously suspected. AMD is running a dedicated PC gaming conference along with a host of partners, and it would indeed be the ultimate stage to show off its latest and greatest hardware to a gaming audience.

They say the reveal is E3 with the cards launching very soon after. Think the 300 series that week and the Fury/Fiji is the week after.

E3 isnt really the best place to reveal hardware. They may mention it/tease it, however its a gaming convention, with most games centered around hardware.
When I was there the closest thing to a hardware reveal as the Nvidia Shield.

This year is the 1st year they are holding a special PC only conference with lots of big names like AMD, Blizzard, Paradox, Bohemia Interactive, Obsidian, and more so it may be a good idea to show off the new series.
