Remember that PowerColor Red Devil teaser from a few days back? While the source link is no longer available, it would seem that someone has gotten their hands on a (golden) sample, one of the two different SKUs that PowerColor is expected to launch around the RX 580. This Golden Sample edition sports a beefier, higher-performing 2.5-slot cooling solution, compared to the expected RX 580 Red Devil's 2.0-slot one. This sample, however, sports something unusual for a card with the power envelope expected from the RX 580: two auxiliary power cables, one 6-pin, as is par of the course with previous-generation RX 480 cards of which the RX 580 is a rebrand; and another, 8-pin one.
The cooling solution on this Golden Sample seems to sport a 4-heatpipe solution, with 2x 6 mm and 2x 8 mm copper heatpipes extending from the main heatsink. Despite the additional power connector, the VRM appears to be a 6-phase design, the same as reference RX 480. The different coloring in the connectors could mean some different things: that the user can choose which connector to power the card with, with increased power delivery for additional overclocking requiring the use of the 8-pin; or as an additional power source for the Red Devil Golden Sample's "OC Mode" (which appears alongside a "Silent Mode" on the BIOS switch.) No information on pricing or clock-speeds were available at time of writing.
