The official specifications of two the two upcoming mainstream graphics cards by AMD, the Radeon RX 470, and the Radeon RX 460, were leaked to the web as slides from the company's official press presentation ahead of their early-August product launches. The RX 470 is based on the same "Ellesmere" Polaris10 silicon as the RX 480. It features 2,048 stream processors across 32 GCN compute units; 128 TMUs, 32 ROPs, and 4 GB of memory across a 256-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface.

The RX 470 features clock speeds of 926 MHz core, 1206 MHz boost, and 6.6 Gbps memory, working out to 211 GB/s memory bandwidth. The RX 460, on the other hand, is based on the "Baffin" Polaris11 silicon, featuring 896 stream processors, 48 TMUs, 16 ROPs, and 4 GB of memory across a 128-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface. Its core is clocked at 1090 MHz, with 1200 MHz boost, and 7 Gbps memory, working out to 112 GB/s memory bandwidth. The RX 470 draws power from a single 6-pin PCIe power connector as its TDP is rated at 120W; the RX 460 relies entirely on the PCIe slot for its power, as its TDP is rated at <75W. The RX 470 will be available from 4th August, 2016; with the RX 460 following on 8th August.

AMD Radeon RX 470

The AMD Radeon RX 470 would have a total of 2048 Stream Processors with 4GB (reference model) or 8 GB of GDDR5 @ 7000 MHz memory (8Gb VRAM in custom models only) with memory interface of 256 bits resulting bandwidth 224 GB / s. In terms of performance, it would be faster than the Radeon R9 380X. It would be one of the best graphics to date in terms of price / performance ratio and would consume about 110W, specifically 80W less power consumption if we compared with the R9 380X. So we have a more powerful, energy – efficient, fresh and economic graphic card promises to run any game at 1080p resolution with high quality.

AMD Radeon RX 460

Radeon R 460 is based on Polaris 11 formed with 896 Stream Processors attached to 2 GB of GDDR5 memory with a memory interface of 128 bits, being the highlight of everything that it has a Mini-ITX size, even slightly smaller than the Radeon R9 Nano and requires no power connector. In terms of performance, its performance could be similar to a Radeon R7 370. Radeon RX 460 is built for eSports games (League of Legends, DOTA 2 or even Overwatch etc.), where we need an economic GPU with very low power consumption (less than 75W) that allow us to play at 60 FPS. Radeon RX 460 will also feature R9 Nano cooler.

“Gamers and consumers today are being left behind. Today only the top 16 percent of PC users can afford GPUs that deliver premium VR and gaming experiences. Hundreds of millions of gamers have been relegated to using outdated technology. Notebook gamers are often forced to compromise. And tens of millions more can only read about incredible PC VR experiences that they can’t enjoy for themselves. That all changes with the Radeon RX Series, placing compelling and advanced high-end gaming and VR technologies within reach of everyone.”

The 470 looks like a low end steal. You could argue $150 might be slightly on the expensive side for that market, but you get the full backend of the 480 (32 ROPs).

I am very curious to see the upcoming 470 vs 480 comparisons. Based off spec alone, the 470 should be within 10% for quite a lot less.

When i saw the specs i had the same though, this will probably be the best cost benefit gpu and will likely stay on top of that parameter for a long time.
