The first performance benchmarks of AMD's upcoming Radeon RX 500 series graphics cards that include the Radeon RX 580, Radeon RX 570 and Radeon RX 550 have leaked out. The graphics cards were spotted over at the 3DMark benchmark database and show some interesting results.

AMD Radeon RX 580, Radeon RX 570 and Radeon RX 550 Performance Benchmarks Unveiled

The performance numbers that have been leaked for the Radeon RX 500 series cards confirm that the performance advantage will be coming solely from clock speed bumps that is the direct result of minor process enhancements and proper board design such as adding 8-pin connectors to gain more clocks out of these chips.

AMD Radeon RX 580 Graphics Card Specifications

The AMD Radeon RX 580 is expected to feature a slightly higher clocked Polaris 10 GPU. So this is similar to many custom variants of the Radeon RX 480 that are available on the market. The card will feature all 2304 stream processors, 144 TMUs, 32 ROPs.

The chip itself will be clocked at 1340 MHz boost to deliver 6.17 TFLOPs of compute performance. Radeon RX 580 will be available in both 8 GB and 4 GB GDDR5 memory variants, clocking in at 8.0 GHz along a 256-bit bus interface. The card will pump out 256 GB/s bandwidth. Expect pricing to be slightly lower than the RX 480, around $199 – $249 US.

AMD Radeon RX 570 Graphics Card Specifications:

The second card to feature the Polaris 10 XL GPU would be the Radeon RX 570. This card would be similar to the RX 470, featuring a cut down Polaris core with 2048 Cores. The card will additionally feature a clock beyond 1200 MHzboost which given the core specs are correct, would yield compute output of 5+ TFLOPs.

In terms of memory, we are looking at up to8GB of GDDR5 which will be clocked at a higher 7.0 GHz clock to deliver 224 GB/s bandwidth. The card will also be available in 4 GB models. Pricing wise, the card will cost around the $149-199 US price range.

AMD Radeon RX 550 Graphics Card Specifications

The AMD Radeon RX 550 is based on a new Polaris GPU known as Polaris 12 and internally known as Lexa Pro. This card would feature only 512 stream processors, 32 TMUs and 16 ROPs. As for boost clocks, it will run around 1183 MHz while the memory would be configured at 7.0 GHz.The 2/4 GB GDDR5 memory will operate along a 128-bit bus and deliver 112 GB/s bandwidth.

The card will come with a price of around $99 US or less and will be available in single fan, single slot variants. The card won't require external power connectivity and will be aimed towards the ESports gaming market due to its low price and minute power consumption.
