AMD releases RX 580 SKU with 2048 Stream Processors

Strangely, this new GPU is more similar to the RX 570 than it is to the RX 580, offering identical memory clock speeds and the same stream processor count, offering users a minor bump in base/boost clock speeds and a TDP of 150W. At this time it seems likely that this new SKU will not be available outside of the Chinese market. 

In many ways, this seems similar to Nvidia’s GTX 1060 3GB, offering end-users a reduced core count and reduced performance when compared to fully featured counterparts, though at least AMD has added the “2048SP” suffix to their RX 580 to help keep consumers informed about the SKU’s hardware changes.
