Making a new thread 'cause the official one moves pretty fast and the info might get buried. Apologies in advance if this is too spammy, I also cross posted in the Free Stuff forums. Mods please move/delete as you see fit.

New product is more than likely to be the Tonga based R9 285 and they might also mention the 285X and with some luck we might get to hear about Fiji. I'd also expect to see many developers talk about their Mantle games.

Looks like Rockstar and Activision might be joining the Mantle camp with GTA V and COD: Advanced Warfare.
Nice, about 50 Mantle games in development or being released soon.
