Next Gen AMD GPUs will have 2x the performance per watt of current offerings

We are also focused on delivering our next generation GPUs in 2016 which is going to improve performance per watt by two times compared to our current offerings, based on design and architectural enhancements as well as advanced FinFET products process technology.

So, does it mean the "Next-Gen" Fury Nano will run on 87.5 watt TDP?

As informative this bit of news is, we already have an AMD discussion thread. Please post AMD related news there, otherwise, all this does is scatter news threads across the forums.

^Speaking of AMD discussion

Here's the thing GCN cpus don't take much of the wattage it's the memory. Using GDDR5 without Nvidia level delta compression eventually had their GPUs consuming quite a lot of power but in return providing great raw performances. I actually prefer that then Nvidia's gimmick design, compression rate was kind of overdone for other resolutions.
