AMD "Polaris" Based Radeon RX 570 and RX 580 Pictured
AMD is preparing new SKUs based on its "Polaris 10" silicon, which are built on a more refined 14 nm FinFET process, to facilitate higher GPU clock speeds, and improved energy efficiency. These include the Radeon RX 580 and the Radeon RX 570. The reference-design boards of the two were pictured, and aren't strictly "rebadged" RX 480 and RX 470. The two feature higher clocks, and are supported by a redesigned VRM. The RX 570 draws power from a single 6-pin PCIe power connector, while the RX 580 draws it from a single 8-pin connector.
The core-configurations of the RX 580 and RX 570 aren't different from their predecessors - the RX 580 still features 2,304 stream processors, and the RX 570 features 2,048, but clock speeds are increased across the board. The RX 580 ticks at about 1340 MHz (vs. 1266 MHz of the RX 480), with its memory speed unchanged at 8.00 GHz (GDDR5-effective), while the RX 570 is clocked at 1244 MHz (vs. 1206 MHz of the RX 470), with its memory clock slightly increased to 7.00 GHz. The two cards also seem to do away with the DVI port. According to VideoCardz, the two cards could launch on the 18th of April, 2017.

And with me a lot of others would not either.
Hopefully, this is the case here.
Man, leave it to the PC community to complain about a performance increase.
Are you dumb?
I'm really glad that AMD releases 500 series as Polaris. I just want to see the improvement and performance/price. Knowing the price points for rx 480 and 470 I believe AMD will do just fine and it will be best buy performance/price. I just want to know what would be the performance and where this new lineup will end up.
Seriously, what can one expect more than +3-5% performance compered to 3rd party RX 480s that already exist.
HD 7870 to R9 270X
HD 7970 to R9 280X
R9 290X to R9 390X
etc etc etc...
I'm gonna ask again, why would anyone at this point expect more than +3-5% performance compered to 3rd party RX 480s that already exist?
And no, "they are not shintel or Novideo" is not a smart answer.
It's far from being the retail product. It can even come across without paste, they are not entitled to actually.
