AMD Readies Radeon RX 500X Series Graphics Cards
AMD is giving final touches to the new Radeon RX 500X-series graphics cards. Product page placeholders for RX 580X, RX 570X, RX 560X, and RX 550X surfaced on AMD website. The specifications tabs on these pages are blank, so there's no official information on what the "X" denotes. It's curious to see AMD give the extension to even lower-end SKUs such as the RX 560 and RX 550.
The company has, in the past, come up with extensions such as "D" to denote OEM-specific SKUs with different specifications than the retail-channel (AIB) products. Going by the convention of "X" denoting higher performance on certain AMD Ryzen processor SKUs, the RX 500X series could have one of several improvements - a new silicon fabrication process facilitating a clock-speed bump, or faster memory, or even some speed boosting feature similar to Ryzen XFR (extended frequency range). We'll know soon enough.

same reason why RX 580 and RX 580 XTR have same rev ID
i dont know if there is a die shrink or not, but from the latest post tpu just did i highly doubt it now
there will be mobile variants.
1002 67FF 1028 1721 Rev CF = AMD Radeon RX 560X
1002 67FF 1028 1726 Rev E5 = AMD Radeon RX 560DX
1002 67FF 103C 8479 Rev E0 = AMD Radeon RX 560X Mobile
But i know what you mean
but sure thing, the 580 can handle my level of gaming just fine...
i think ff15 is the most taxing game to date. 42FPS 4k 60hz lol
Super high resolution really is quite pointless for moving images, I will keep saying this, and like very high FPS its not a linear advantage either. The higher you go, the less it matters.
