Radeon RX 500X Series Spotted on AMD’s Website

I imagine this will be another slight bump much like the 480-->580, wonder how they will be priced...
 
I for one can't wait to see what this is all about. I love my little 550's and other 500 series cards :D
 
From what I understand (which probably isn't much) in memory interface on recent AMD GPUs is pretty modular, with them being able to copy/past different controllers into place pretty simply. What benefit expensive HBM would be to a decidedly mid end arch is debatable though

HBM mines like a monster on everything we have seen it on so far. Id love to see what something like a 550 would do with 4gb of hbm onboard. From a gaming point of view it would probably still be junk but id love to find out.
 
Wonder if a refresh of the 580 can hit vega56/1070 levels?

It wouldn’t cannibalise v56 sales, because surely as it’s currant price there can’t be many selling
 
Refresh don't bother me so long they is decent performance uplift. A 580x with GDDR6 wouldn't be bad. Doubt this will be HBM this is AMD's min range, HBM will remain high end graphics is my call.
 
AMD Radeon RX 580X added to Techpowerup database.

RX 580X are based on 12nm Polaris 30, RX 580X has 43MHz increased on base clock 1300MHz, 60MHz increased on boost clock 1400MHz, still used GDDR5 at same speed and same TDP compared to 14nm RX 580. So guess Navi will use GDDR6.

AMD Radeon RX 570X added to Techpowerup database.

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/3192/radeon-rx-570x

RX 570X has 82MHz increased on base clock 1250MHz, 106MHz increased on boost clock 1350MHz and 100W TDP, 20W less compared to 14nm RX 570.

AMD Radeon RX 560X added to Techpowerup database.

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/3193/radeon-rx-560x

RX 560X are based on 12nm Polaris 31, it has 25MHz increased on base clock 1200MHz, 75MHz increased on boost clock 1350MHz and 70W TDP, 5W less compared to 14nm RX 560.

RX 550X are based on 12nm Polaris 32, it has 100MHz increased on base clock 1200MHz, 117MHz increased on boost clock 1300MHz and same 50W TDP compared to 14nm RX 550.

Not saying it is, but to potentially last neary 4 years is the definition of being skinto-****to!

Is mid range GPUs for 1080p res, beating their Pascal competitors by a good margin (1060 6Gb and bellow) from the beginning and they are a good profit maker for both AMD and the AIBs.

Imho, AMD should have been making still more 390X (aka 290X) :p to compete in with the 1070 at any res.
I am sure 5 years later and a die shrink they should have been able to up the speed by 10% to beat clearly the 1070 at that segment and make good profit, instead of having Vega 56.

After all is what Nvidia is making since Maxwell.....

I can't see GDDR6 being used either, not unless they're purposely trying to push a bigger Polaris chip out the door, GDDR5x maybe?
