AMD's Radeon R9 390 GPU was was released in market  to succeed the R9 290 but mostly, the newer model is  physically similar to its predecessor as Both GPUs share the same 28nm GCN-based design and with 2,560  shaders but r9 390 is  improved with  twice the amount of GDDR5 video memory( 8GB versus 4GB ) and faster  clock speeds on the memory and core to deliver better performance .Its graphics processor is clocked at  1050 MHz in gaming mode and 1070 MHz in OC mode . It has 2,560 stream processors,160 texture units and 64 ROPs.The card is cooled by a large heat sink, fitted with three fans.

Samsung 850 pro review

The 850 Pro is Samsung's new flagship consumer SSD, and the follow-up to the wildly popular 840 Pro, which was one of the best performing SSDs money could buy . The Samsung SSD 850 Pro is a standard internal drive that supports the latest SATA 3 (6Gbps) standard and will work in any instance where a regular SATA hard drive is used. It is  7 mm thick .   The MEX controller has received a 100MHz speed bump, to 400MHz, but the headline new feature is 3D V-NAND flash memory, Samsung's proprietary 3D technology, where the memory chips are layered vertically, as well as horizontally.

Samsung 850 EVO SSD review

Samsung is a market leaders when it comes to SSD performance and its flagship 850 Pro ratcheted the bar even higher. It offered stonking speed, and provided ample evidence that controlling the research, development and production of a drive provides the best results. Following  850 Pro, The 850 Evo is the second SSD from Samsung that uses a 3D vertical flash memory cell. Traditionally, 2D planar type NAND flash memory cells -- the storage units on an SSD -- lay flat on the surface of the silicon wafer. That's common for most SSDs on the market. With the 850 Evo, the drive's flash memory cells are stacked in up to 32 layers, which allows for significantly more cells in the same number of wafer bits. This greatly increases the density and means, among other things, more storage space for less cost. Sequential read performance for the 850 EVO is listed as up to 540MB/s. Sequential write performance is listed as up to 520 MB/s.
