AMD's RX 580, 570 and RX 550 Specifications and 3D Mark Results Leak
So, it would appear that rumors and leaks about the RX 500 series being simple rebrands of AMD's RX 400 line were true. Recent leaks point to no more changes and performance increases than those achieved through higher base clock speeds on the graphics cards' GPU and memory. The architecture is the same, and the process seems to have followed the same path - as of yet, no confirmation regarding whether or not these cards do use a newer, leaner LPP process for higher clocks and less power consumption.
The RX 580 will come in with clocks at 1340 MHz with 4 GB and 8 GB GDDR5 variants clocking in at 8.0 GHz along a 256-bit bus interface. This amounts to 256 GB/s of bandwidth, and pricing should be around the $199 - $249 mark. On the leaked Firestrike Extreme test, this card was clocked to 1500 MHz (not easy to achieve with current Polaris 10 GPUs) and a 6675 points score. The RX 570, on the other hand, seems to have not been given the core clocks bump treatment, but memory speeds should see an increase to 7 GHz, delivering 224 GB/s of bandwidth. Overclocked to 1325 MHz, it delivered a score of 5719 points in the same benchmark. Finally, the new kid on the block, AMD's Polaris 12 is somewhat of a head-scratcher of a part, with its measly 640 stream processors (the line between discrete graphics and integrated ones is really blurry here). RX 550 reference cards should come in at 1190 MHz, where it scores 1849 in 3DMark FireStrike Extreme, though the card does so with only PCIe power.
Pricing should be in line with AMD's RX 400 series, and performance should be comparable to RX 400 AIB cards, so no setting the world on fire here. If delay reports are true, expect these to be launched on April 18th. The RX 560 is MIA for now, but there is no reason to think it won't be launched alongside the other cards in the RX 500 line.

It's either 1080(or ti) or 1070. It's either 4k gaming or 144ghz gaming.
It doesn't matter what it's called it matters what it's priced at relative to what it will do and LPP with clock boosts is an upgrade , depends on everhead left though they could just be clocking the snot out of it.
I noted Nvidia May be selling gp102 disguised as gp104 Gtx1080s that May unlock to a 1080ti on one site recently , could be April first that one but it's a fact now it's in rumour land.
How confusing is that now, dial the laughs to 11, and your with me.
To clarify , This is just how it rolls. Regardless of the maker.
that is a higher clock than I can sustain with my top end cards on air.
Efficiency improvements would help too.
I thought it laughable but commented on the premise regardless of your crap paint skills.
My point is, why should we believe a random shoot on the internet?What's with you guys? Why so irascible?
Seriously tho, why so angry, i'm just saying it's easily fakable, it was mainly a response to the guy who posted the original
I get your point but deep down I know some shit to be and some not to be ,I'll give you an example.
The Rx 480 doesn't officially support rapid packed math but the new one should, an odd aside perhaps but if 4 16 bit ops are used in a game engine it won't be as it's automatically done afaik ,no special programming required.
Also
The LPP node swap will include mask refinement design tweaks Inc geometry's of objects etc and is not to be sniffed at Intel calls such things hyper scale development.
I also suspect the pricing for these re-brands will be A Lot cheaper over the RX400 pricing scheme. These are coming out to sell, right before VEGA.
And Hbr 3 8k support.
@oxidized ,I'm totally unsure tbh that's why i read these types of thread and more besides.
That's said, this is the low to mid range segment. VEGA is for high end Enthusiasts.
Though I would like to see the RX580 match or exceed the R9-Fury X.
Here's a neat link that compared all based on users.

A better proces is a natural shift in any chip producer. It will spare costs for both AMD and Glofo and the chip is proberly better at higher clocks and lower voltage. Rebranding was done esp. for the OEM market if i'm not mistaken. The real deal is coming from Vega soon. :)
Now if it's 1350MHz, then yeah it's disappointing (And I am not yet convinced a standard 580 will clock to 1500MHz btw).
They don't need to... :)it's not going to improve it 20%... ;)They did... HAVEN'T BEEN for generations now... I dont recall one since the 6 series...(680 to 770)
Edit: linustechtips.com/main/topic/222806-rebranded-graphics-cards/
Did something sneek by me there? Can't think of any, at least where I know in midrange+.. any budget cards? That said, amd seems to rebrand (what feels like) entire lineups with no/minimal changes a lot more often than Nvidia.
