Radeon RX 570 and 580 Smile On Camera
Photos of the Radeon RX 570 and 580 leaked on the web. There even is a GPU-Z screenshot displaying specs. It seems, the RX 570 will make use if the same PCB as Radeon RX 480/470 series.
Radeon RX 570
This board once again comes with a 6-pin power connector and your three DP and one HDMI connectors. This reference design again misses a DVI port. If the photos are for real then it confirms that Radeon RX 570 is using Polaris GPUs.
AMD Radeon RX 580
Pictures of Radeon RX 580 also have surfaced, including an engineering sample with board number C940. This graphics cards definitely seems to be new. The cards will get a 8-pin power connector. The label shows again, Polaris being fabbed March 3rd. For the specifications, a GPU-Z screenshot was also posted and it seems that the specs for RX 570 are 2048 Stream Processors, 128 TMUs and 32 ROPs. That's similar towards the Radeon RX 470s. If the screenshot is for real, the AMD has not increased the memory speed on new Polaris SKUs. The RX 570 4GB will have 4GB and 8GB GDDR5 memory configurations at 7 GHz effective frequency. The Radeon RX 500 series are rumored to launch on April 18th. For the RX 580, there is still shatter on the web about special XTR version (normally you have Pro and XT codes, now a XTR code was spotted), a higher clocked version of the product series that could make a difference. We'll see.

So basically a rebrand? maybe a die shrink with a bump of the core clocks. Hopefully vega and big vega will help out AMD's top end line

What's the Point
I have an MSI RX-480 Gaming X 8G that does 1380/2100 all day long, and never exceeds 70°.
So, what's the point in these cards???
If you want one, find yourself a good deal on a 480, and overclock to the 580 specifications, or more.

1. Because OEMs (oh and GPU partners too)
2. PCIe power delivery fix
3. Possible process refinement(not shrink) which brings yadayada

Die shrink(possibly) with slightly faster core clocks..
More re-branding just confuses general population..
Also I'm tired of seeing PEG connectors flat in the middle on top of GPU.
Put it on the side.
Top PEG just ruins those trying to perfect cable management.
Top PEG placement has been preferred since before, PEG connectors where they were placed at the end often ran into issues of getting in the way of 2.5/3.5" drive bays. Of course it's not much of a problem with decent cases but have to take into account many PC cases in the mainstream market are midiATX so, placing the connectors at the end would be a limiting factor.
