AMD Shows Polaris 10 and Polaris 11 ASIC Images
Well .. a little bit as it isn't much. On a new webpage from AMD that are teasing the new Polaris architecture. It's highlighting features as 4th gen. Graphics CoreNext, 4K H.265 60 Hz game-streaming, next-generation display engine with support for DisplayPort 1.3 and HDMI 2.0, XConnect Technology and GPUOpen.
On the page AMD also has a top leader image, showing a Polaris chip, you need to look hard though:
Then lower on the page there's this image:
Well, from there onwards is speculation. Is it Polaris 10 or 11. The upper one Likely 11 Baffin though and the lower one Polaris 10 due to its bigger size.
Polaris 11 will be a more mainstream model with the Polaris 10 to be a high-end SKU series. Polaris 10 is "Ellesmere" and Polaris 11 is "Baffin. We think it is safe to say that Polaris 10 will be the R9 490X series with 490 and 480 models (high-end). Polaris 11 will be the GPU replacing the 370 and 360 products, likely R7 470 and R9 470. It is unlikely that AMD will announce all products at once, so we expect Polaris 10 appear first around the Computex timeframe with an official launch later. Polaris introduces HVEC (h.265) decode and encode hardware-acceleration and will also support the latest display output standards like DisplayPort 1.3 (how does 3840x2160 @ 120Hz and 1920x1080 @ 480Hz sound?) and of course, HDMI 2.0.

Problem is, you won't get 120Hz 4K displays until way after those chips. And the rates described here are a theoretical maximum, nowhere near game performance. So don't count on your 4K gaming with 120Hz this fall / winter
I sure hope it'll be able to come close to those refresh rates. "Gimme.....gimme.....gimme!!!"

"4K H.265 60 Hz game-streaming"
Gamers can stream the games compressed to about half the current size while maintaining quality using the new x265 codec with no loss in gaming performance.
This will significantly reduce the upstream bandwidth needed.
Also ofc sounds like you can stream your gameplay to other devices more easily
Though I suspect "we" are waiting for the Big Guns to arrive later in the year / next year!
Kaby Lake details got leaked... nothing interesting, going to be another 3 - 5% better jobby. So also waiting on Zen to help make this year more interesting again with cheap real 8 core threaded CPUs to help pry my 6+ year old CPU out of my hands!!!

Buying day one
if bellow 180W and even somewhat faster than 980Ti/FuryX at 2560x1440++
