Advance Micro Device (AMD) Radeon RX 500 specs include 512TB Virtual Address Space, Next Compute Unit (NCU), 4x power efficiency and 2x peak throughput or performance per clock. It is expected to have multiple variants with GDDR5X, HBM2 and GDDR5 RAM.
The new AMD Radeon RX 500 chips are based on the latest Vega architecture, which is said to be the advanced and most powerful architecture, till date. It will offer high bandwidth cache and 8x capacity per stack. Its performance will also be boasted with twice bandwidth per pin.
Apart from these impressive AMD Radeon RX 500 specs, it will also have the latest NCU architecture and the next generation pixel engine, according to PC Gamer. It will also be packed with rapid packed math, primitive shaders and draw stream binning rasterizer.
In comparison to Polaris, the AMD Radeon RX 500 specs are much better and the latter is expected to give almost 4x the graphics performance. Despite the fact that both AMD Radeon RX 500 and Polaris will consume almost similar power but the graphics performance of the former will be better many times over. This also implies that the new improved Vega architecture will deliver double the performance of single precision compute without increasing the power consumption at all.
At any given clock speed, the latest AMD Radeon RX 500 will also deliver double the performance, which is expected from Polaris. Hence, they are coming with the 2x throughtput/clock functionality.
Apart from these exciting specs, the AMD Radeon RX 500 series is also going to come in multiple variants so as to appeal to all sides of the spectrum. The highest end variants are expected to feature HBM2 whereas the lower-end models are going to feature GDDR5/X RAM, which will certainly appeal to the budget conscious.
Meanwhile, AMD also has another chip in the pipeline, which is Vega 10. It will have a 4096 stream processor and will need a TDP of 225W, according to Segment Next. It is expected to function with 16GB HBM2 memory.
