Of course, the 2013 scheme mentioned was replaced when the RX 400 series was released: https://videocardz.com/61721/amd-rad...heme-explained
Only, there weren't meant to be any suffixes for the RX series cards - they were meant to use the final digit to indicate a revision of the same card (i.e. a revised RX580 should be an RX585).
Basically, AMD's 'announced' card-naming schemes are worthless and get discarded as soon as the marketing people get involved, AFAICT...
I wonder what the improvements will be?? Nvidia is after all launching a new range this year!!
True or False: Polaris architecture is old but manages to beat a GTX1060 so why not re-Brandion?
I've seen some reports say that the AMD Radeon RX 560X, for example, is a clock bumped version of the RX 560M. Evidence of this is in an official Acer Nitro laptop listing here.
re-re-launching polaris would be odd given the rumours of small vega (V32) last year
It would seem better to put effort into the high end, something like a Vega 96 would do the trick. However, if Nvidia are about to release an improved GTX1160 then AMD could do with a decent bump to the RX 580.Quote:

To be fair, if they\'re just sticking an X on the end I wouldn\'t call it a rebrand. It\'s still a RX 560, just an \'X\' one.Quote:

And probably cost +10% because there's an extra letter in the name...
