AMD Statement About Radeon RX 560 896 shader SKUs

Yesterday the story broke that AMD subsequently changed the specification of the Radeon RX 560. Manufacturers and AIB partners are selling slower cards with only 896 instead of 1024 cores, under the same name.

AMD has specified its Polaris graphics chip with 1024 shader cores. This makes the RX 560 faster compared to the predecessor Radeon RX 460, whose GPU offers only 896 shader cores. A while ago in Asia "D variants" (Radeon RX 560D) have been spotted, whose Polaris GPU also contains only 896 shader cores. Recently, however, these D models appeared on the market also graphics cards under the name Radeon RX 560, with just 896 instead of 1024 shader computing cores.  A glance at the specification site of AMD Radeon RX 560 highlights the first: here is the shader number currently with specified "896/1024" - there are now two variants of the same name. Which is a recent change?
 

 
We just received an official response from AMD to this observation, this is the official statement:

“It’s correct that 14 Compute Unit (896 stream processors) and 16 Compute Unit (1024 stream processor) versions of the Radeon RX 560 are available. We introduced the 14CU version this summer to provide AIBs and the market with more RX 500 series options. It’s come to our attention that on certain AIB and etail websites there’s no clear delineation between the two variants. We’re taking immediate steps to remedy this: we’re working with all AIB and channel partners to make sure the product descriptions and names clarify the CU count, so that gamers and consumers know exactly what they’re buying. We apologize for the confusion this may have caused.”

AMD had subsequently changed the specification website without informing the public and or media about it.
