Unless AMD releases a 1080ti competitor, they will remain irrelevant to 4k and high refresh rate gamers. Also Nvidia will continue their monopoly until then.

Not even worthy of the RX600 name I see, as the RX500 weren't.
I don't mind refreshed products if they perform better and the name isn't confusing.
If produced them at 12nm with GDDR6, they should be able to push them a little and keep price down.
My only hope is to get one at MSRP.

So... Been reading a bit around, and this showed up:
http://laptopmedia.com/review/acer-nitro-5-an515-42-radeon-rx-560x-review-not-just-a-facelift-there-is-a-new-engine-under-the-bonnet/
So... could it be they are simply the "new" mobile variant of the 560m?
Because if it isn't, a respin of a respin for desktop would be simply.... Plus, they did promise to deliver "new" Vega chips, didn't they? Presumably Mobile, since computing and such will get it first.

Sadly I think $350-400 will be the new msrp for gtx 1060/rx 580 GPUs. I hope I am wrong, but I do not see them being sub-$300 again .... regardless of mining.

I don't find this too much of a surprise. The entire "base" RX 500 series was underwhelming, and the miners bought the majority of that product lineup. In other words, the series was effectively non-existent to most consumers, anyway. So, AMD sees this as "let's just pretend that never happened..." but doesn't want to get sued, so they "re-release" the series with an X suffix and call it a day.
It's still stupid, but hopefully this time around, the 500X series will be actually worth noting.
EDIT:
I'm sure AMD realizes that this whole product lineup is also going to be taken away by miners, so no point wasting the RX 600 series, when the 500 series is already wasted anyway.

Hopefully it might bring more performance , what is worrying right now it is the price as current VGA prices are out of this world 🙁

The only thing that could save all of us (gamers) is IF mining could become much more demanding. If there was a real need for more powerful GPUs for mining, games should also receive an even faster evolution or considerable boost. Depressing times we live.

GO GO ASIC! 😀
Maybe some competition from Eth ASIC could change the scenario.
Let's see how the new Bitmain Eth ASIC hadware arriving in July affect GPU sells for miners (and in general).
This ASIC (E3) numbers:
180 MH/s (megahashes per second)
800 watts of electricity consumption
Retail price: $800
E3 ASIC VS "gaming" GPUs:

this sounds familiar...hmm...Oh yea, 7xxx, 2xx, 3xx..... yea, I think that's it. These come in 3s.
PS. Yea, good luck with getting your hands on that BitMain E3, for 800$ nevertheless. I tried, no-go. Either order 100, or gtfo.
