Newly leaked slides from AMD's new Radeon R9 290X Hawaii GPU reveals that the Volcanic Islands GPU will also feature 8 Asynchronous Compute Engines much like the Liverpool GPU inside of Sony's new PS4.
Each of the 8 ACE's can manage up to 8 compute queues for a total of 64 compute commands, in comparison the HD 7970 only has 2 ACE's that could only queue 2 compute commands for a total of 4 & the Xbox One only has 2 ACE's but they also manage up to 8 compute queues for a total of 16 compute queues.
Could this mean that the PS4's GPU is also apart of AMD's Volcanic Islands family?

Of course, Sony is part of the HSA Foundation.
no one can find the Xbox One's secret dGPU because Microsoft hid it in the PS4!
8 ACE's Must be really shit if it has that many. I'v been told by Microsoft that they are crap after two. /s
