it was officially confirmed, announcement however is couple months later at computex.
It will be interesting how it compares to the just announced Titan X from Nvidia, that they only revealed that the GM200 has 8b transistors and 12GB GDDR5.
The R9 390X, will most likely use HBM, which is Wide IO implementation, however limited to 4GB, the card might have the bandwidth and compute power for 4k, however that 4GB might drag the card down a bit.

4096-bit memory interface, 640 GB/s memory bandwidth and compute performance of nearly 8.2 TFLOPS.

wow!
AMD's new GPU 4096bit wide IO
GTX Titan X 384bit wide
XB1's GPU 1280bit wide
Ps4's GPU 256bit wide

It seems that AMD wil,l have a technological leap forward over Nvidia this year by implementing s stacked HBM which Nvidia will take from AMD (positive competition) and will implement it is upcoming series :) ; Let us wait to see actual performance benchmarks between the Titan X and R9 380x
