Our colleagues discovered new details about the next line of video cards Radeon RX 500. It is alleged that the information below was obtained from a reliable source familiar with the situation surrounding the future video cards. However, it is worth noting that before the release of the new AMD graphics cards is still a few months, and the company's plans may still change.
The more productive Radeon RX 500 graphics cards line will be based on AMD Vega 10. While card with this GPU is presented only by one graphics card, accelerator computing Instinct MI25 , for which the performance is declared in 12.5 teraflops FP32 (at Polaris 10 - 5.8 teraflops). Also at CES 2017 was shown the engineering model Radeon consumer graphics cards based on Vega 10. It is reported that on 10 Vega will be released at least two video cards Radeon RX 500.
Video Card Radeon RX 500 mid-level, will differ by very high performance, but it will be focused on the mass market, will also be built on the GPU architecture with Vega. Only it will have GPU Vega 11. In fact, the GPU will replace Polaris 10, and is reported to be installed in the video card worth up to $ 300. The company will make it more likely GDDR5 memory (X), but there are still likely to see HBM2 memory, however, as only one of the crystal volume of 4 GB with a speed of 256 GB / s and 1024 bit bus.
Finally, the graphics card Radeon RX 500 entry-level, according to the source, will be built on GPUs Polaris. Earlier it was reported that AMD company can prepare a new revision Polaris graphics processors, which will have a higher performance and lower power consumption due to optimization. Perhaps these GPU will be part of the junior graphics card Radeon RX 500. On the other hand, AMD is known for his love of renaming, and Radeon RX 560 can be easily rebranded Radeon RX 460 on the base of Polaris 11.
