The new SKU is further cut down from the Polaris 10 stack, in a bid to lower TDP below the 100W mark, to around 90W. The chip features 1,792 stream processors across 28 Graphics CoreNext compute units (CUs), out of the 36 CUs physically present on the chip. The RX 470 features 32 CUs, while the RX 480 maxes out all available CUs. AMD is leaving the memory bus untouched. It features 4 GB of GDDR5 memory across a 256-bit wide memory interface, ticking at 7.00 GHz (GDDR5-effective), churning up 224 GB/s of memory bandwidth - double that of the GTX 1050 series. There's also talk of yet another SKU, with 1,536 stream processors (24/36 CUs enabled), which AMD could position against the GTX 1050 (non-Ti).
There was no name for this card back when we first spotted this chip but now things have gotten a lot more clear. Thanks to listings found by Videocardz, it seems like AMD is definitely going to offer a cost effective Polaris 10 GPU. This GPU will clearly tackle the GeForce GTX 1050 Ti which comes at a sweet price point of $139 US. AMD already has the RX 470 priced at $179 US so we may be looking at a price close to $149 - $159 US.
Neat n all..... but it sure would be nice to log on one day and actually see something exciting. Tired of all the low range stuff lol i need an upgrade. I want amd to push out some power hungry crazy beast of a card.
I thought that 2 years ago, but it still seems there is always that flash in a pan, profitable coin out there that people will dedicate time and hardware to mining.
