AMD's Not-So-Subtle Hint at a Dual-Hawaii Graphics Card
By , - Source: Tom's Hardware US

It is not a new rumor that AMD is working on a graphics card, possibly codenamed "Vesuvius." It is expected to feature two of AMD's Hawaii GPUs and might also be known as a Radeon R9 290X-X2, or such. The official naming hasn't been confirmed anywhere yet. Now, AMD has pulled off a rather interesting stunt, in which it not-so-subtly hints at a dual-GPU graphics card. It doesn't take a genius to figure out which that will be.

Our own Chris Angelini received an envelope the image below. The envelope was stamped 'Top Secret', and inside:

A brilliant move from AMD, assuming it was the sender, of course. Given that the origin of the package was Toronto-based, that's quite likely, though nowhere did it clearly state that it was from AMD. Or maybe Chris just has a creepy secret admirer.
