The amd rx 590 graphics card can contain an 11 or 12 nm node

Despite none of us expecting it, AMD could have made a pretty smart move by launching the RX 590. Not only will it help the company burn some of the remaining stock in the 5XX range, but it also gives AMD a chance to give Polaris architecture a final sigh.

It has been discovered that the RX 590 can have a 11 or 12 nm node

Although in terms of performance it does not manage to be revolutionary with respect to the RX 590, it can be a good option for those low-end users who want to make the jump to the mid-range and do not know what graphics card to buy.

Although the graphics card is officially made based on a 12nm processor node, it has recently been discovered that it could also be made at 11nm.

In a previous report, AMD was found to have been using two different sources to supply the Polaris 30 GPU chip. Although GlobalFounderies was initially thought to have the exclusive rights, it appears that Samsung has also been contracted. Yes, strangely, there are two separate companies that supply the AMD RX 590 GPU.

We have to believe that Samsung is the one that uses the 11nm design, but we understand that visually, there is no clear way to discern between the two.

What does this mean?

In terms of performance? Absolutely nothing. Despite having a slightly more advanced design, in terms of absolute performance, the differences will be insignificant. If there is evidence. What could happen is that some models can achieve higher frequencies than others, this would be understood by the fact that the nodes would be different.
