AMD RX 580 and RX 560 leak

So not only does AMD have a 40 CU Polaris for Scorpio, but they apparently have a 44 CU(2816 cores) version for the Scorpio development kit.

Yo AMD - can we get some of that?

Not just that, but the damn thing is more power efficient as well, and has 50% the Bandwidth at 326GB/ with a 384-bit Bus.

Would love if the RX 580 was a 44CU unit with the bandwidth of the Scoprio's GPU.

The extra bandwidth would be cool, but I think 256-bit is still ok. Scorpio needs it cuz they're trying to push native 4k rendering on it.

I just want the extra horsepower.

Well with 44 CU, and 12GB of RAM, that Bandwidth on a desktop Polaris chip with higher clock speed would be fantastic in replacing the RX 480.

Damn shame we're not getting any of that. Would really be a proper refresh over the 480 in my eyes.
 
Scorpio does look like a decent proposition tbh.

I'm just hoping that games built for the Scorpion up will transfer well to AMD PC setups.
 
Don't understand this Polaris refresh tho. Why would they release lower tier cards which could theoretically canabalise thier own sales of Vega?

Nvidia always launch top tier first. AMD launched top tier Ryzen first. So why launch low/mid range new GPUs?

Odd.

HIS Radeon RX 570 IceQ X2 pictured and detailed

A Vietnamese retailer is apparently selling Radeon RX 500 graphics cards as we speak and it seems that guys from Genk website already have one.

The card is based on Polaris 20 GPU clocked at 1244 MHz. This particular variant has 2048 Stream Processors, so just like RX 470. HIS RX 570 has 4GB GDDR5 memory rated at 7 GHz effective speed.

The ‘new’ card from HIS looks almost identical to HIS RX 470 IceQX2, which has a GPU clock at 1226 MHz, so we are looking at a moderate performance boost over predecessor.

Well keep in mind the Scorpio only has 8GB of that GDDR5 available for graphics. So total capacity is same as RX480, but with bigger bus. Would be nice, absolutely. But would probably mean a decent increase in price, too. Even a 44 CU Polaris isn't gonna be a great 4K card, so I'd be fine with the 256-bit one. Could make for a good RX590 though, if they dont have a Vega planned for that spot.

Jesus, I see HiS are still stuck in the mid-2000's!!!

Those colours appeal to Chinese and Asian buyers apparently, HIS have stuck to that colour scheme for years (blues and golds) if it weren't working they would have changed it years ago.

To be fair Asian buyers must think westerns buyers are the most boring people on the planet who only hardware that's colored red and black.
