AMD is preparing a new SKU based on the Polaris graphics processor.

Radeon RX 590 GME – GiMmE performance?
According to Expreview, AMD board partners are set to launch a new Radeon SKU called RX 590 GME. This is a sub-variant of the Radeon RX 590 featuring lower clocks.

The reference clock of the RX 590 GME is unknown, but the new models are around 120 MHz slower than their non-GME variants. That said, the clock speeds are similar to what Radeon RX 580 has to offer. The listing at JD does not explicitly mention Polaris 30 or 12nm fabrication technology, so technically this could be a Polaris 20-based SKU.

The new model is currently available for preorder through the Chinese JD.com website. It is expected to officially launch on March 9th.

Their performance is about the same as a 390, which was about the same as a 290.

Its crazy really

While the 390 was a rebadge 290 (shocker) they where different GPU to Polaris 20/30 (Polaris 30 was just 20 built on Samsung version of TSMCS 14nm which they labelled as 12nm )in the 570/580/470/480 and there many "variants".
