Amd radeon rx 590 confirmed with 12nm finfet node

We've seen the AMD Radeon RX 590 appear in a couple of leaks here and there, but there were details that were unclear, for example if this new graphics card would use a 12nm node.

RX 590 confirms its 12 nm node, it would be 10% faster than RX 580

Andreas Schilling (via Twitter) posted a couple of photos of the upcoming AMD Radeon RX 590 box and we see that he mentions in the description that it is based on a 12nm FinFET process, as we were all speculating. This means that this card will offer greater energy efficiency and higher clock speeds compared to the AMD RX 580.

There are no 'official' performance results yet, but if the reports are true then we should get a 10% increase in performance compared to the RX 580. The RX 590 should also consume 15% less power, which is greatly appreciated.

For owners of an RX 580, the new RX 590 may not seem like a huge performance upgrade, but if you have an entry-level card like the RX 460 or an older card like the R7 series, this might be an upgrade. very interesting. At the end of the day, it will all come down to prices.

According to the latest information we had, the graphics card will launch on November 15 and will cost around $ 300, a competitive price within the mid-range.

It's also interesting to note that Nvidia has confirmed the upcoming GTX 1060 with GDDR5X memory more or less at the same time. Just connect the dots to realize that these two cards are going to compete fiercely with each other in the coming months.
