Even though the custom models of the AMD Radeon RX 590 have been revealed, we’re still not 100% sure what the clock frequencies of the next GPUs that will be upgraded to a 12 nm FinFET node using the new Polaris 30 core, but reliable data are starting to deliver.
AMD Radeon RX 590 could reach frequencies above 1700 MHz
It appears that the clock rates of two models of this GPU are filtered by the Tum Apisak font, both of which would use factory overclocking.
The AMD Polaris 30 GPU, which summarizes the previously known specifications, will be based on a 12 nm process node. It is not known whether AMD will use the 12 nm Global Foundries process node or the advanced 12 nm TSMC node to produce NVIDIA Turing GPUs. Considering that Polaris GPUs have introduced a FinFET process design from “Glofo”, it will come with no surprise when AMD finally uses them for the new 12 nm node as well.

In terms of specifications, the AMD Polaris 30 GPU would have 2304 stream processors, 144 TMU and 32 ROP. The VRAM memory contains the same 8GB GDDR5 design registered at 8000MHz over a 256-bit bus. Most of the performance benefits would come from the tuning of the architecture achieved by reducing the matrix to 12 nm, but it is not expected to be much more powerful than we are currently achieving with Polaris 20. The RX 590 card is expected to cost $250-300.
Both PowerColor and XFX will release their own models. The PowerColor Radeon RX 590 Red Devil has filtered some time ago. The model would use a maximum frequency of 1645 MHz, while the custom model XFX Radeon RX 590 would use a slightly higher frequency at 1680 MHz. This means that the RX 590 could manually reach frequencies above 1700 MHz.
