With today's launch of the entry-level Radeon RX 460, AMD finally completes its Polaris lineup. This card is based on a Polaris 11 GPU and just like its bigger Polaris 10 brothers, this chip is made on a 14nm FinFET process.

The Radeon RX 460 features 14 CUs, it has 896 stream processors, 48 TMUs, 16 ROPs and a 128-bit memory bus. The base clockspeed is 1090MHz, with a 1200MHz Boost, and the card has 2GB to 4GB GDDR5 memory clocked at 7000MHz. The card uses under 75W of power and does not require a PCIe power connector.

There is no reference design so pricing will depend a lot on AMD's partners. The suggested retail price for the 2GB model is $109 but a quick look at Newegg reveals there's just one card selling for $109.99, everything else costs at least $10 more and some of the custom, overclocked cards with 4GB GDDR5 command a price of $169.99.
