Amd radeon rx 540 would be on its way

AMD wants the Radeon RX 500 series to reach all users and therefore has prepared a significant number of models to cover all pockets. After the arrival of the Radeon RX 580, RX 570, RX 560 and RX 550 those of Sunnyvale are preparing to launch another model with lower performance for less demanding users. The Radeon RX 540 would arrive as the little sister of the new family.

Radeon RX 540 features

The Radeon RX 540 mounts the same GPU with 8 Compute Units as the Radeon RX 550 so the number of shaders remains at 512, the curious thing is that the operating frequency will be 1, 219 MHz compared to the 1, 183 MHz of the Radeon RX 550. The difference in performance is due to the use of a 2/4 GB GDDR5 memory with a bandwidth of only 96 GB / s compared to the 112 GB / s of the Radeon RX 550, despite this, in some games it could to be somewhat above his older sister.

This Radeon RX 540 would be intended for OEMs and system integrators so most likely we will not see it in stores.
