ASRock Phantom Gaming Graphics Cards Leak - Includes Entire RX 500 line
Remember the post about the ASRock Phantom Gaming Graphics Cards teaser? Well, it's just leaked that this is the Radeon RX 500 series of graphics cards including the RX 550, 560, 570 and 580.
ASRock will release at least four models, with quite similar looks as some of the XFX products actually? From the looks of it, they will release some regular sized cards, but also an easy drop-in Mini ITX version of the Radeon RX 550 and RX 560. There's also a single fan RX 570 is released, and a dual-fan cooled RX 580. Nothing has been shared on a public launch just yet.
ASRock has not yet published further details, but forum posts claim that the Phantom Gaming cards will be released in the second quarter, but we would not be surprised to see an announcement surrounding the Ryzen 2000 series releases.
Mr.Komodo on Twitter for the picture.
Update:
ASRock quickly announced the series after the leak:
The leading global motherboard manufacturer, ASRock, is proud to announce to moving into the graphics card market with the Phantom Gaming range – a strong line up of AMD RadeonTM RX500 series cards, ASRock never compromises on product quality and performance, so these new products are packed with amazing features as well as the best components to ensure they meet everyone’s expectations.
TAIPEI, Taiwan, March 28, 2018 – A leading global motherboard manufacturer, ASRock, is moving into the graphics card market with the Phantom Gaming range – a strong line up of AMD RadeonTM RX500 series cards, including the Phantom Gaming X Radeon RX580 8G, Radeon RX570 8G, the Phantom Gaming Radeon RX560 4G/2G and Radeon RX550 4G/2G.

Cards offer advanced performance technology
ASRock Phantom Gaming series promises elegant design, flexibility for power users combined with user friendly control, and of course, outstanding performance. ASRock never compromises on product quality and performance, so these new products are packed with amazing features as well as the best components to ensure they meet everyone’s expectations. Graphics cards from this range offer features such as dual ball-bearing fans and are built around a sophisticated extra-large copper-base aluminum alloy composite heat pipe-equipped heatsink design for optimal cooling. Together, these technologies provide enhanced system performance, higher frame rates and long-term product reliability.
These new cards will be based on the Radeon RX 500 series, which features a powerful combination of exceptional game performance, high clock speeds, and AMD’s refined 2nd generation “Polaris” architecture. The Radeon RX 500 series was designed specifically for system upgrades, catering to gamers who are hindered by outdated technology and aren't able to enjoy optimal experiences in modern games or the latest display technologies. “ASRock is an industry leader with some of the world’s best AMD-based motherboards being sold in the market today, and we are thrilled to team with them to help us bring incredible gaming experiences to gamers with Radeon GPUs, “said Scott Herkelman, corporate vice president and general manager, Radeon Technologies Group. “The new ASRock Phantom Gaming Series, based on the powerful Radeon RX 500 Series graphics cards, will provide gamers the best of Radeon features and performance which will include FreeSync, the ultimate technology for smooth and stutter-free gaming, Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition for seamless streaming, sharing and gameplay capture now with mobile device functionality, and Radeon graphic’s highly optimized DirectX 12 and Vulkan performance.”

They can just increase the prices of the Nvidia products a bit to cover the expenses of funding a new marketing campaign for the new AMD brands that Nvidia demanded. For good or ill, Nvidia products are now in such a position that the vast majority of buyers will buy them even if they cost more. Not talking about miners, but miners don't care about brands anyway.
What is more interesting is that there should be no mobos with ROG branding anymore as Nvidia doesn't have CPUs. If ROG can only be used with Nvidia products, it can't be used with Intel or AMD socket mobos. In fact that's the only place where I ever paid attention to ROG, despite never putting enough money to get one. But it still made mè somehow glad my current mobo was marketed as having some of the ROG features despite not being one. No more such things at all in the future?
You are right, they JUST have to start over a new brand to sell AMD cards, with the Nvidia cards still using the brands they have been advertising for years... there is absolutely no way it may have any impact on sales, and then, absolutely no impact on the ability from AMD to create competitive cards.

More competition to the market is always a good thing for the consumer. I take this as positive news.
However to be honest I did hope they would create Crypto oriented cards. Oh well.
