The new Advance Micro Device (AMD) Radeon RX 500 will have the power packed Instinct MI25 graphics accelerator. The new series will also have three variants with HBM2, GDDR5X and GDDR5 RAM.
The Instinct MI25 graphics accelerator will add a host of features to the AMD Radeon RX 500 series cards. It will bump up the maximum computing performance by more than 12 tera flops. Thus, the upcoming AMD Radeon RX 500 card will give ample competition to the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 card.
Hardcore gamers as well as the amateur gamers will be taken care of by the new AMD Radeon RX 500 models. The hardcore gamers will get the model with 16GB RAM and the HBM2 interface along with a computing rate of more than 512GB/second. On the other hand, the amateur gamers will have to suffice with the 8GB model. This also implies that the upcoming card will boast of two instances of 2048-bit memory bus at 1000 MHz, according to WCCFTech.

To enhance its capabilities even further, it is going to come bundled with a cache of high bandwidth and a controller as well. These functionalities are sure to appeal to the hard core gamers as they will be able to play high performance games in a seamless manner.
Meanwhile, AMD is also planning to launch a new chip named as Vega 10. It is expected to have 16 GB HBM2, a 4096 stream processor and a TDP of 225 W. As it is quite a powerful chip, so it will also have 12 TFLOP's of single precision and 24 TFLOP's of half-precision compute performance, according to Segment Next.
