HIS Radeon R7-250 Oland XT and R7-240 Oland Pro ‘Volcanic Islands’ Graphics Cards Pictured
The first AMD Volcanic Islands
R-200 series graphics card Radeon R7-250 and Radeon R7-240 based on the upcoming Oland based architecture have been leaked by
Videocardz. The leak confirms the new naming scheme that AMD is going to feature on their next generation
Volcanic Islands graphic cards.
HIS Radeon R7-250 Oland XT and R7-240 Oland Pro Graphic Cards Pictured
The HIS Radeon R7-250 and HIS Radeon R7-240 graphic cards are entry level Volcanic
Islands solutions which feature the Oland XT and Oland Pro graphics
core respectively. The new GPUs are based on a faster variant of Cape
Verde core so would end up a bit faster than the Radeon HD 7770 and Radeon HD 7750 but would be a bit slower compared to the Bonaire XTX based Radeon HD 7790. Its quite surprising that the leak is regarding GPUs built by HIS since they were the first manufacturer to officially leak the codenames of AMD’s Volcanic Islands series.
HIS Radeon R7-250 ‘OLAND XT’
The HIS Radeon R7-250 makes use of the Oland XT core which is built on the 28nm process and features a clock speed
ranging from 1000 MHz based and 1050 MHz boost, featuring upto 1 GB of
GDDR5 memory clocked at 4600 MHz and supports PCI-e x16 3.0 interface.
GPU configurations currently remain unknown.
HIS Radeon R7-240 ‘OLAND PRO’
The HIS Radeon R7-240 makes use of the Oland Pro core which is also built on a 28nm process but features less impressive clock speeds of 730 MHz base and 780 MHz boost while supporting upto 2 GB of DDR3 memory with a clock speed
of 1800 MHz and supports PCI-e 3.0 x16 interface. It is easy to note
that the Oland Pro part would feature lesser stream processors than its
bigger Oland XT brother.

Both cards would be available in reference and non-reference models
featuring the HIS IceQ and HIS iCooler. The Oland Pro Radeon R7-240 part
that has been pictured is powered by its PCI-e connector representing a
TDP of 75W while the TDP for the Radeon R7-250 part remains a mystery
until next week. Credit for the leak goes to Videocardz who
have done an amazing job getting first information regarding AMD’s
Volcanic Islands GPUs. Stay tuned for more information on the go!
