Taking photos on the production run/line in a Chinese plant of an embargoed Radeon RX480 from XFX. You just have got to wonder who's getting fired today right? Also interesting, how come it's always XFX when leaks appear? Anyhow, have a peek after the break. 



Well, it certainly does bring rather unique photos. Check it out, a bunch of Radeon RX 480 graphics cards from XFX have been photographed during a production run at the end of the stage close to packaging. The picture shows that XFX is adding a back-plate. The cooler inside has been photographed as well, showing GPU and VRM cooling as well as the fan aka spinner.

also shows GPU-Z screenshot identifying the XFX Radeon RX 480 which indeed has 2,304 shader processors an this particular OC mode, a GPU base clock of 1328 MHz, with the memory at 8 GHz as expected (GDDR5-effective).

Radeon RX 480 is based on Polaris 10, with a GPU called Ellismere. The 14 nm FinFET+ process based Radeon RX 480 will perform above 5 TFLOPS. With it's 150 TDP it'll have 36 CUs x 64 shader processors per CU = 2304 Shader processors). The card will be available in both 4GB and 8GB versions and has 256-bit GDR5 memory at 256 GB/s (= 8 Gbps effective much like the GeForce GTX 1070). The reference cards will run in the 1267 MHz range on it's GPU boost clock with the board partners likely upping that number a notch.

Historically speaking AMD has always allowed roughly a 50 MHz increase in the GPU clock for its board partners, which matches the GPU-Z screenshot (thus things are in line as expected). The card will start at 199 USD for the 4GB model. 8GB models will also become available yet that pricing has not been announced but is expected to be in the 249~299 USD range.
