AMD RX 500 series Launch April 4th with three rebrands
We talked about a possible rehash before, but it seems it's now more validated. AMD will be rebranding some of the 400 series graphics cards into the RX 500 series. Starting April 4 you sould see the Radeon RX 570 and RX 580, followed by Radeon RX 550 en RX 560 on April 11th.
The Radeon RX 580 would be a faster version of the RX 480 with a bump in clock frequency towards 1340 MHz. The 570 would be a 38 MHz faster model based on the RX 470. Both models will again be offered in a 4GB and 8 GB version.
The RX 560 is a 460 with 1024 stream processors abd a clock frequency of 1287 MHz. This would make the 560 substantially faster compared to the 460. The RX 550 would be Polaris 12 based, a new low-end SKU. Details on that one are missing.
VEGA will be released later, quite honestly expect that to be released end of May/June in the Computex time frame

Well, hopefully RX 580 etc get a price drop and Vega 11 isn't too much more expensive than what the RX 480 was at release.

They should just drop Vega at this point and just focus all their effort on bringing Navi to market sooner.

I must be stupid, because I don't understand these rebrands again. Why do that mistake ?
This is not wise, after new processor launch
It's sad for me too because I was hoping on more than a rebrand of Polaris to buy a new GPU. I guess they can't afford to develop anymore, 4/5 years developing Ryzen and they've been trying to push Vega out for over a year now. It's obvious they can't afford to develop the mainstream area and all they can do is rebrand to still be relevant on the market.
They should just drop Vega at this point and just focus all their effort on bringing Navi to market sooner.
Things don't work like that, they need at least some return on investment to move on to the next tech.
