AMD Changing RX 560 To A New Slightly Slower Version – Ultragamerz, The best Technology & game news

AMD Changing RX 560 To A New Slightly Slower Version AMD Changing RX 560 To A New Slightly Slower Version Heise.de reported recently that AMD has has lowered the specifications of the Radeon RX 560 with 14 CUs (896 Stream Processors), allowing them to be sold alongside standard 16 CU (1024 SP) parts. It is almost like Radeon RX 460-level products to be sold as Radeon RX 560 cards. With the RX 500 series Polaris family refresh, AMD based the Radeon RX 560 all 16 of its CUs were active. The RX 560 was a notable step up from the 14 CU Radeon RX 460. AMD seems that never stopped producing 14 CU GPUs, once AMD did opt to sell a 14 CU part under RX 500 series lineup, it was introduced as the regionally-limited RX 560D. The meaning of this is that AMD can now market and ship lower-performing graphics products labelled under the same "RX 560" branding. ASUS has a "RX 560 EVO OC" 896 SP part. The PowerColor Red Dragon RX 560 4GBD5-DHA product page only specifies a lower clockspeed but its 896 SP count was revealed on its Newegg listing. Annatech reported that in a heavily compute or texturing-limited proccesing task, these lowered specs would allow for cards around 12% slower than cards built to AMD's original specifications. In effect, AMD is now able to ship the lower-performing RX 460-like cards as 580. Amd Later Commented on the whole issue: t’s correct that 14 Compute Unit (896 stream processors) and 16 Compute Unit (1024 stream processor) versions of the Radeon RX 560 are available. We introduced the 14CU version this summer to provide AIBs and the market with more RX 500 series options. It’s come to our attention that on certain AIB and etail websites there’s no clear delineation between the two variants. We’re taking immediate steps to remedy this: we’re working with all AIB and channel partners to make sure the product descriptions and names clarify the CU count, so that gamers and consumers know exactly what they’re buying. We apologize for the confusion this may have caused.
