The photos and benchmarks seem to confirm that the Hawaii XT (GCN 2.0) R9-290X has 2816 stream processors, split among 44 clusters. The leaked benchmarks peg the Radeon R9-290X as equal or slightly faster than Nvidia's GTX Titan, and around 10% faster than the GTX 780 -- strong, and if it's priced right, it could put AMD back in the driving seat.
