Amd radeon rx 580, rx 570, rx 560 and rx 550 are officially released

Finally, AMD has announced the official launch of the new AMD Radeon RX 500 graphics cards, a new series that sees the light with a total of four Radeon RX 580, RX 570, RX 560 and RX 550 models , all based on the Polaris architecture..

AMD Radeon RX 580

First of all, we have the top of the range card based on Polaris and which is still a twist to the previous Radeon RX 480 with slightly higher operating frequencies, the result of a more refined 14nm manufacturing process. It is based on the Polaris 20 core with a total of 2304 Stream Processors along with 144 TMUs and 32 ROPs at base and turbo frequencies of 1257 and 1340 MHz respectively. We found a total of 4/8 GB of GDDR5 memory with a 256-bit interface and an 8-pin connector for power. It arrives with prices of approximately 260 euros for the 8 GB version and 229 euros for the 4 GB version.

We go down one step and find the successor to the Radeon RX 470, we have a Polaris 20 core with 2048 Stream Processors, 128 TMUs and 32 ROPs operating at a base and turbo speed of 1168 and 1244 MHz MHz respectively. It is accompanied by 4 GB of 7 GHz GDDR5 memory with a 256-bit interface and a 6-pin power connector. It is 26% faster than its predecessor and arrives for starting prices of 191 euros.

What is it and how does a GPU or graphics card work?

AMD Radeon RX 560

We come to a completely new card that makes use of a fully unlocked Baffin silicon with 1024 stream processors at a base frequency and turbo of 1175/1275 MHz so it should offer a major leap forward compared to the previous Radeon RX 460 with only 896 stream processors. It is accompanied by 4 GB of 7 GHz GDDR5 memory with a 128 bit interface. Its official price has not yet been released.

Finally, we have the smallest of the new Polaris sisters with a total of 512 stream processors that run at 1, 183 MHz and are accompanied by 2/4 GB of GDDR5 memory with a 128-bit interface. It has a starting price of 91 euros.
