The eagle eyed among you will notice that the heart of this system, a dual Fiji graphics board, features ablower style air cooler. Arethese air cooled "Fury X2" graphics cards OEM only? are we going to see both liquid and air cooled retail versions of the card come to market ? those are questions that we simply don't know the answer to right now. What we do know is that at 12 TFLOPs of compute this is the world's fastest graphics card by a long shot and it will most definitely be put to good use by developers all over the world.

Original story :

AMD is teasing Radeon powered, console sized DirectX 12 and VR ready PCs that's 8 times more powerful than the XBOX One and PS4. A photo of a bunch these systems, appropriately finished in red, were posted on twitter by AMD's Roy Taylor, one of the biggest VR advocates inside the company.

Very few details were giveninitially besides the picture you see aboveand the following tweet by Roy

"Developers, we have something coming for you...:) @AMDDevCentral @FalconNW @AMDRadeon #VR #DX12"

It was later confirmed that the systemsyou see above are "Tiki" models from Falcon North West. A system builder who has collaborated with AMD to put the world's fastest graphics card, AMD's dual Fiji board, inside a compact - console sized - DirectX12 and VR ready powerhouse.

Interestingly we had heard of this system before, during Roy Taylor's keynote at VRLA.

“Last time I was here I also promised you that we would make the world’s most powerful small computer for developers. We promised you we would take two of our highest end GPUs and put it inside that tiny box and if you go downstairs we actually have a demonstration of a dual GPU, 12 TeraFlops, fastest GPU solution in the world, inside of Tiki. It’s a feat of engineering we are delighted with.” – Roy Taylor, AMD Corporate Vice President of Alliances at VRLA Winter Expo

While not all specs for the system in question have been revealed just yet. Roy unveiled that it packs a dual Fiji graphics card with 12 TeraFlops of compute, roughly9 times that of the XBOX One, 7 times that of the Playstation 4 and double that of Nvidia's GeForce GTX Titan X.

A single Fiji XT GPU found in AMD's Radeon R9 Fury X2 flagship graphics card is rated at over 8teraflops, two would easily amount to over 16 teraflops. However, it seems that the version employed in the Tiki is a custom affair designed with modest air cooling tofit insidethis sleekcompact form factor.
