AMD Polaris 10 Sample Spotted at 1.27 GHz clock frequency
One of the major benefits for Nvidia's Pascal architecture is that they can achieve really high clock frequencies. The 16nm Pascal based GeForce GTX 1080 boosts over 1800 MHz. AMD will bake Polaris at 14nm and as some information found in the SiSoft Sandra database, they reach 1.27 GHz with Polaris 10.
The SiSoftware Sandra 2015 OpenGL benchmark entry (look it up here) was entered 3 days ago and allegedly shows an entry of a Polaris 10 sample at 1266 MHz. The chip is identified by its Hardware ID, 67DF: C7 and 67DF: C4. These are both Polaris 10 ASICs, one Pro and one XT model.
The entry denotes once again 36 compute cores (Nvidia call theirs SMs), 36 x 64 shader processors per cluster would mean 2304 active shader processors. The entry also reveals 8 GB memory being clocke at 7.6 GHz running over a 256-bit, so that would be 243 GB/s It however is unclear if AMD opted for GDDR5 or GDDR5X.
Obviously this might be just a reference sample, AMD can still increase the clock frequency at launch, with that in mind it remains to be seen what we finally going to see from the red camp.

AMD Polaris 11 in shows CompuBench has 1024 Shader processors - 04/11/2016 10:06 AM
This is a pretty intersting find, in the CompuBench database some device entries of AMD Polaris 11 (the entry level to mainstream SKU) has appeared. It's all a bit dodgy to dig out, but each graphi...

Still a bit on the low side, but certainly looks better and far more believable than the weird 800 or was it 850 MHz on that table from back then.
Clock speed does matter, after all. Free speed if the chip can handle it.

So it does beat 850mhz then, just.

Thinking in terms of MHz is not a very technical, or accurate, observation...
It's MHz x IPC = Performance. AMD proved that convincingly long ago when the Athlon spanked the original Pentium architecture into an early and well-deserved grave. Raw MHz would only have any meaning for performance if the IPC for the two architectures is equal--and of course it is not. (The only way it could be is if both architectures were the same GPU.)

One number does not 'rule them all'.
